===ADO.NET-to-ODBC bridges=== An ADO.NET-ODBC bridge consists of an [[ADO.NET data provider|ADO.NET Provider]] which uses the services of an ODBC driver to connect to a target database. This provider translates ADO.NET [[Method (computer science)|method]] calls into ODBC function calls. Programmers usually use such a bridge when a given database lacks an ADO.NET provider, but is accessible through an ODBC driver. Microsoft ships one as part of the [[Microsoft Data Access Components|MDAC]] [[system component bundle]], together with other database drivers, to simplify development in [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]]. Third parties have also developed such. Examples: [https://uda.openlinksw.com/dotnet-odbc-st/ OpenLink ADO.NET-ODBC Bridge], [https://www.progress.com/net/sequelink SequeLink ADO.NET-ODBC Bridge].
