Access, edit, and update data from a wide range of databases.
Softgroup .Net Data Objects is a set of .Net classes that gives developers powerful objects for accessing, editing, and updating data from a wide range of databases through a unique driver interface. With Softgroup .Net Data Objects developers can especially easy migrate old data-oriented projects that use Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) to Microsoft ADO.NET technology based on .NET Framework without rewriting many lines of code.

Database Connectivity Through Script Drivers

Connect applications to relational and non-relational databases through a unified interface. Configurable Script Drivers define database-specific instructions, allowing developers to work with different database systems using consistent objects and methods while supporting various underlying data access technologies.

Migration from ADO to ADO.NET

Adapt existing Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) applications to Microsoft ADO.NET technology without extensive source code changes. Familiar objects such as Connection, Recordset, Fields, and Field provide similar properties and methods, helping developers preserve established data access logic.

Database Structure and Object Management

Access and manipulate database structures, including tables, indexes, primary keys, foreign keys, views, procedures, and triggers. Manage database users, groups, and permissions through supported operations, allowing applications to interact with database objects beyond standard record retrieval and modification.

SQL Query Generation and Execution

Construct and execute Structured Query Language (SQL) statements using dedicated SQLSelect, SQLInsert, SQLUpdate, and SQLDelete objects and functions. Generate standard SQL statements for retrieving, inserting, updating, and deleting records across supported databases, reducing the need to write database-specific statements manually.

Recordset Navigation and Data Manipulation

Create Recordset objects dynamically to retrieve, navigate, and modify database records using functionality similar to Microsoft ADO Recordset objects. Use bookmark support to identify record positions and manage retrieved data within applications that require interactive record navigation and editing.

Database Administration and Maintenance

Perform administrative operations such as enumerating existing databases, creating and deleting databases, and executing backup and restore procedures. Access supported database management functionality programmatically or through optional multilingual dialogs with Unicode support for connection configuration and maintenance operations.

Parameterized Commands and Transaction Processing

Execute database commands and stored procedures with parameters to support application-specific data operations. Perform transactional database operations when multiple changes need to be managed within a transaction, providing developers with control over database updates and related processing.

Data Filtering, Sorting, and Export

Filter and sort local copies of database information using criteria determined at runtime. Convert Recordset objects into System.Data.DataTable objects for integration with .NET applications, and save database information to Extensible Markup Language (XML) files for external storage or processing.

Multiple Database and Data Provider Support

Work with supported database systems including Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, MSDE, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird, and SQLite. Script Drivers can use Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), Object Linking and Embedding Database (OLE DB), or .NET Data Providers to establish database access.

Custom Script Driver Configuration

Extend database connectivity by creating custom Script Drivers using the supplied Script Driver Guide. Each driver uses a Windows INI configuration file containing instructions for supported database operations, allowing developers to define database-specific behavior through the component's common interface.
