PostgreSQL with Visual C++ 2010

[ChaosKnight11]

Hi. I am working on a visual C++ app and I was wondering if it is possible to use PostgreSQL for database interaction instead of the default SQL Server? I saw a connector for .NET but it's written in C#, will that work for a C++ app also? Or is there some other PostgreSQL C++ connector for .NET?

Any help will be greatly appreciated...

@evstevemd - the OP is working with .NET so an unmanaged library like that would require marshaling between the unmanaged and managed layers

@OP - You should be able to use the C# library in your C++/CLI code. The intellisense in 2010 is crappy for C++/CLI but see what happens when you add the C# dll to your project, whether you get access to the namespaces.

You should get the same methods you would use in C#, but you'll have to determine which of the . are namespace related and turn those into :: and which of the . are method/member related and likely turn those into "->" I have never done this but it seems like it should be somewhat straightforward between 2 .NET languages.

Nope! He have found .NET library but was asking if it can work with C++. Actually, I understand that he is asking for C++ library
