How do I connect C# with Postgres?

Question

How do I Connect C# with Postgres? I download the npgsql data provider but couldn\'t make it work. Are there more examples than the ones in the Postgres site?

Cheers,

Answer 1

If you want an recent copy of npgsql, then go here

http://www.npgsql.org/

This can be installed via package manager console as

PM> Install-Package Npgsql

Answer 2

You want the NPGSQL library. Your only other alternative is ODBC.

Answer 3

Here is a walkthrough, Using PostgreSQL in your C# (.NET) application (An introduction):

In this article, I would like to show you the basics of using a PostgreSQL database in your .NET application. The reason why I'm doing this is the lack of PostgreSQL articles on CodeProject despite the fact that it is a very good RDBMS. I have used PostgreSQL back in the days when PHP was my main programming language, and I thought.... well, why not use it in my C# application.

Other than that you will need to give us some specific problems that you are having so that we can help diagnose the problem.
