Hello,

I'm new to sqlanywhere, so my question might be strange.
it is not really clear for me how can I connect from c# code.

I created a database with encryption option. it has only one table,
(also encrypted).
I can start this server with Personal server, or sybase central.
in this case the connection string is the following.
conn.ConnectionString =
string.Format("ENG=sp;DBN=sp;UID=DBA;PWD={0}", pwd);
this is working fine.

but if the server is still not started is it possible to connect
directly from .net to that database?
conn.ConnectionString =
string.Format("ENG=sp;DBN=full_path_of_database_fi le;DBKEY=encryption_key;UID=DBA;PWD={1}",
pwd);

the samples are all using odbc. is it the only way to automatically
start a database?

thanks
Ivan

sorry, I found the problem
DBN is the database name
DBF is the path of the database file.
