I need to connect to a .fdb file (Navision database file 2009) through C#.

1. Can anyone provide a sample .fdb file?
2. Can anyone explain how can I connect to this file through C#?
3. Is .fdb file same as firebird database file?
4. I have a NODBC driver. how can I use it in this scenario?

I have tried these links but found nothing useful.

RE: MS Dynamics Navision database 2009 connect with C#

First of all you are asking C# question on an specific ERP forum, second it's highly unrecommanded to access Nav database directly through external tool if your not Nav pro.

There is Nav code into table and fields triggers and some fields are also calculated dynamicly. Huge mistake can happen if you modify data from external tool bypassing thoses.

Btw you can alway dig arround for Firebird.NET functions to do so
