Database connection to Visual C or VB in Visual studio

Hello, I am new here!

Where do I find the ERP-related information to access our  ERP data ?
Read only for now at least!
I have most of the database stuff like data set , data adapters and connection strings  sorted out in Visual Studio for local data.  But I have no idea how to practically connect to web based ERP, or how to download the data base(s) for local access. 
The default data base options provided  in VS are:
MS Access database file
MS SQL server
MS SQL server database file

and <other>, and I have no idea of limitations... 
 
Looking forward to advice!
Sten

ERP uses the MySQL Database , so you need to look for ODBC connection strings for MySQL and connect to the remote database.

Hi, Steven!

If you have the need to modify data starting another application, do not use a direct access to the database.

Do this through the web API, which is here https://github.com/frappe/wn-client


The implementation is developed in Python, but I believe it will not be difficult reuses there, you can re-implement in VB.Net or usalá directly in VB.Net installing IronPython in your Visual Studio.

Hi all,

just came accross this post from a search engine. As it might be relevant for others, here a quick update: I agree with @max_morais_dmm that the API is the way to go for when interacting with ERPNext from Visual Studio. And there is a wrapper for the API for Visual Studio in C# (which also works in VB): GitHub - libracore/ERPNextSharp: ERPNext wrapper for C#
