Hi.
Just got bounced from my job, so I'm trying to make myself more marketable.
Decided to brush up on JBoss and .NET.
I downloaded the free c# from Microsoft, and determined I needed to download the Enterprise Library June 2005 datablock.
But when I did it said the datablock required XP Pro.
So.. anyone know if/how I can access a database from the c# ide from Microsoft on XP Home (all I have now).

Thanks for this information and any other pointers/tutorials.. I have 28 years experience but it doesn't seem to be as useful as I was hoping. (alot of it is borland 5.02)

regards
Jeff
p.s. please tell me if there is a superior place for this post.

I have XP Home installed, and I have found I can connect to Microsoft Access (.mdb) databases using Microsoft Jet. It works fine for me.

thanks. So that involves what for you? Not a datablock I assume.
Sorry if that is not a good question, but I don't know dot net yet.

regards and thanks again
