How to create a database from a C# text file?
I am doing a coursework on creating an ATM. According to the terms, passwords, names and all data are stored in a plain text file. I found such an example on one site, I can’t figure out how to extract data from here now
`public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Определяем подключение
OleDbConnection StrCon = new OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:\Exp;Extended Properties=text");
//Строка для выборки данных
string Select1 = "SELECT * FROM [Dictionary1.txt]";
//Создание объекта Command
OleDbCommand comand1 =new OleDbCommand(Select1, StrCon);
//Определяем объект Adapter для взаимодействия с источником данных
OleDbDataAdapter adapter1 =new OleDbDataAdapter(comand1);
//Определяем объект DataSet
DataSet AllTables =new DataSet();
//Открываем подключение
StrCon.Open();
//Заполняем DataSet таблицей из источника данных
adapter1.Fill(AllTables);
//Заполняем обект datagridview для отображения данных на форме
dataGridView1.DataSource = AllTables.Tables[0];
StrCon.Close();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(@"D:\Exp\Dictionary1.txt", false, Encoding.Default);
//Добавление имен столбцов
for(int j = 0; j<dataGridView1.ColumnCount; j++)
{
sw.Write(dataGridView1.Columns[j].HeaderText);
if( j < dataGridView1.ColumnCount-1)
sw.Write(",");
}
sw.WriteLine();
for (int i= 0; i<dataGridView1.RowCount;i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j< dataGridView1.ColumnCount;j++)
{
sw.Write(dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[j].Value);
if (j < dataGridView1.ColumnCount-1)
sw.Write(",");
}
sw.WriteLine();
}
sw.Flush();
sw.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
}`

Using the OleDbConnection connection string, a connection is established to a certain database. In your case it is a text file. Data is written to a text file in such a way that the columns are separated by tabs, commas, semicolons, or other ASCII characters. Such files are conventionally called CSV .
DataSet is a data set (so translated from English), obtained from the database using SELECT.
These are all the lines read from the text file, each divided into its own columns. In a GUI program, this data is usually projected line by line (line=record) onto some GUI element for display on the screen.
The user, working with the interface, activates the command to enter a new record, each of which must be saved to the database using INSERT.
To update the cells, say record number 2, you need to use UPDATE ... WHERE id=2.
