title: Connot connect to .dbf file in C#
body: <p>I'm trying to connect access *.dbf file in ASP.NET select some data and display in html. However I cannot make connection. I suppose, the problem lays in the connection string.</p>
  
  <pre><code>OdbcConnection conn = new OdbcConnection();
  conn.ConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=c:\Data;Extended Properties=dBASE 5.0;User ID=Admin;Password=;";
  
  conn.Open();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not
    found and no default driver specified</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, none none of the solutions posted in older questions solved my problem.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Visual Studio Community 2015, Windows 10 64-bit.</p>
  
  <p>I guess, that the Provider may be wrong. However I'm not so good in this topic, so I don't know how to do this in a proper way. I'd be very thankful for some step-by-step instruction and for any useful advice.</p>
  
  <p>the *.dbf file is one of the files from the archive here:
