Which adapter should be used to get the data from an Access database?

OleDbDataAdapter is used to get the data from an Access database.

To access data from an Access database in a .NET application, you would typically use an OleDbDataAdapter. The OleDbDataAdapter is used to retrieve data from an Access database using the OleDb data provider in .NET. It acts as a bridge between the dataset and the data source, allowing you to fill a dataset with data from the Access database and update changes back to the database if needed.

Here’s a brief explanation of how you would use it:

csharp
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.OleDb;

class Program
{
static void Main()
{
string connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\\path\\to\\your\\database.accdb;";
string query = "SELECT * FROM YourTableName";

using (OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(connectionString))
{
OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(query, connection);

DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();
adapter.Fill(dataSet, "YourTableName");

// Now you can work with the data in the dataSet
}
}
}

Replace “YourTableName” with the name of the table you want to retrieve data from, and make sure to adjust the connection string to point to your Access database file.
