Paradox Direct Engine (ActiveX edition) v2.95

The new SaveToXML method you may generate the xml-file which is compatible with .NET DataSet class.
Now you may do not use the ado recordset and load the xml directly in Dataset().
For example:
// create unbound recordset for temporary storage (from Paradox table)
DataTable table1 = new DataTable("country");
table1.Columns.Add("Name");
table1.Columns.Add("Capital");
table1.Columns.Add("Continent");
table1.Columns.Add("Area");
table1.Columns.Add("Population");
DataSet set = new DataSet("map");
set.Tables.Add(table1);
// convert the records in Paradox table to xml-file
PdxViewA.TScalabiumParadoxReader pdx = new PdxViewA.TScalabiumParadoxReader();
pdx.FileName = Application.StartupPath + "\\country.db";
pdx.SaveToXML(Application.StartupPath + "\\country.xml", "country", false);
if (pdx.LastErrorMessage != null)
MessageBox.Show(pdx.LastErrorMessage);
//load converted xml into dataset
set.ReadXml(Application.StartupPath + "\\country.xml");
//view records in datagrid
dataGridView1.DataSource = table1;
We have no native version for Linux but you may run Paradox Viewer under Linux+Wine. It works.
In all our db-viewers (Paradox, dBase, DBISAM, Clarion) I added the possibility to generate the PDF file with table of records

Conclusions about Paradox Viewer:
– in trial if table contain more than 100 records, to show the popup dialog with warning
– if field name contain the period or other system symbol, can’t export to MS Access
– export to PDF
– BLOB with WordPerfect formatting to export as WYSIWYG
Today added the possibility to read/extract the records from encrypted .db file which is protected by aux-password(s):
