Flatfile

Summary Flatfile is a simple, flat file database engine in a .NET 2.0 class library DLL assembly. Flatfile provides the basic operations of a simple, flat file database engine:  create a database; open and close a database; write new records; update existing records; delete records; retrieve records (first, previous, next, last, by number, all records); filter records (search/find); import from and export to CSV and TSV formats.

Freeware

Flatfile Version 2.0 is freeware and it does not require registration.

nCodianDBE is a prior version for .NET 1.1, and stDBE is a prior version in an ActiveX DLL. The prior product required registration to work outside the Visual Studio IDE, but beginning January 2, 2009, if you want to use the prior version, registration is free. Simply email nCodian™ asking for a free registration code.
