I am trying to set up a data connection to a VFP Database (DBC) from within C# 2005 Express. I do not know how to do this; the only two options are ACCESS or SQL Server.

After creating a NEW C# WIndows Application project, I went to the Data menu item, selected ADD NEW DATASOURCE; the default selection was the DATA SOURCE TYPE was "Database" in the Data Connection wizard. I clicked on the New Connection button; a Dialog form appeared in which I should be able to select the Database File Name. Above that is the type of database in which there are only two options: (1) Microsoft Access Database File, (2) Microsoft SQL Server Database File. Visual FoxPro is not an option here, so I would never be able to select a VFP database file (DBC).

How do you get past the obviously "BIASED" ACCESS and SQL SERVER options to be able to select Visual FoxPro as a Database File Type?
