You are here: Projects > Generic DB Connector > Background

This project was written a while ago and is used as one method to access a database via a generic DLL. The DLL is imported to you .NET project and reduces some of the overhead of accessing and administrating a database connection allowing a simpler transition from one database to another and also centralizing access so that in one place you can alter and improve how data is returned. This project is a full DLL and there is a sub project where a WinForms tester is included.

When building the project I used an iterative approach using dummy stubs for each interface while building the DLL.

The DLL has been tested against SQL Server and built and used within WinForms and ASP.NET projects

(The FULL project will be uploaded early January once my book deadlines are out of the way, the basics of the code will be loaded in the meantime)
