In many forums i found that developers struggle "To connect with MS Access Database from Asp.net". Thats why in this post i will show you how one can access MS Access database from Asp.net ASPX page to bind GridView. To do that first open any MS Access Database & then create below table:
Fig: Entity
And ofcourse copy your MS Access mdb Database into your application root folder.
Ok, Now our MS Access Database Article table is ready. So add an aspx page in your asp.net project & then drag & drop a GridView within the page. Named it by gvArticle. Full HTML Markup Language is given below:

<asp:BoundField DataField="Modified" HeaderText="Modified" SortExpression="Modified" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

</body>

Now you need to write code in server side to bind GridView gvArticle. First make connection string for your MS Access Database. And then read data from MS Access database. Complete server side code is given below:
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Data.OleDb;
public partial class MSACCESSGV : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
string sFilePath = Server.MapPath("MSACCESS.mdb");
DataTable dt;
OleDbConnection Conn = new OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + sFilePath + ";");
using (Conn)
{
Conn.Open();
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM ARTICLE", Conn);
OleDbDataAdapter oDA = new OleDbDataAdapter(cmd);
dt = new DataTable();
oDA.Fill(dt);
}
gvArticle.DataSource = dt;
gvArticle.DataBind();
}
}
}
using System.Data;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Data.OleDb;
public partial class MSACCESSGV : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
string sFilePath = Server.MapPath("MSACCESS.mdb");
DataTable dt;
OleDbConnection Conn = new OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + sFilePath + ";");
using (Conn)
{
Conn.Open();
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM ARTICLE", Conn);
OleDbDataAdapter oDA = new OleDbDataAdapter(cmd);
dt = new DataTable();
oDA.Fill(dt);
}
gvArticle.DataSource = dt;
gvArticle.DataBind();
}
}
}
Now run your page. And you will get an output like below:
Fig: Output
Hope now you can make connection with MS-Access Database & also can retrieve data from MS-Access from your asp.net application.

For me MS Access is sifnificant tool on my PC. Because some days ago I was working with it and something happened. And all my data was lost,for luck I asked a friend about tool which can solves like problem and he advised me - Access data Recovery. It helped me for a minute and I was very glad. Moreover it performed this action for free as far as I remember.
