How can I retrieve column descriptions from an access database in C#? -

-

i trying retrieve column descriptions ms access columns using c# (the text entered user in table designer describe purpose of column). how 1 go this? thought maybe extendedproperties in column hold when datatable through oledbconnection , loop through columns, extendedproperties has count of 0.

edit: thanks, remou, did trick. below quick test in c#

            catalog cat = new adox.catalogclass();             adodb.connection conn = new adodb.connection();             conn.open(_connectionstring, null, null, 0);             cat.activeconnection = conn;             adox.table mhs = cat.tables["mytablename"];             string test = mhs.columns["columnofinterest"].properties["description"].value.tostring();

using adox catalogue, can @ field property description, in vba:

catdb.activeconnection = "provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;" & _ "data source=" & currentproject.fullname  set tbl = catdb.tables("new")  set fld = tbl.columns("test") debug.print fld.properties("description")

(in cases might this: {tag1({tag2({tag3()})})}) , on.) btw using preg_replace_callback, easier show preg_replace here site can test code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php you need add curly braces character set. here's pattern used: /\{[a-za-z.,\(\)\{\}0-9]+\}/ and here result: "lorem ipsum dolor sit replaced, consectetur adipiscing elit."
