title: Write TestStand results through a .net application to an external database
body: <p>I'm looking into a solution where i have to write TestStand Tests' results to a database through a predefined API that can be accessed in the tests' sequence.
  Currently the way the test results are written to a database is through ODBC and by explicitly writing SQL statements into TestStand. I want, instead to write an application say in .Net and encapsulate those SQL statements calls within it. </p>
  
  <p>Is this doable at all ? Can I write the application, build the DLL, load it into TestStand and through a .Net Adpater make it available to the Tests' sequence. </p>
  
  <p>To make even the process worse, the actuall .Net application will consume webservice that will do the actual writing to the database. </p>
  
  <p>This is my first experience with TestStand and i'm not sure I'm on the right track. Most of the docs i sifted through don't seem to hint to externalizing database interaction through a third party object (.Net, Active X or any DLL).</p>
  
  <p>Would appreciate your comments on this</p>
  
  <p>Thank you
