This is a basic file parser written in C# for reading and writing xBase DBF files. Pure .NET direct access to xBase DBF. No need OBBC/JDBC for readind and writeing xBase DBF. xBase DBF files are used by Clipper and FoxPro.

Compilable on Linux (Mono). For .net 4.0 projects there is an enumeration framework in which makes it easy to use Linq to Objects.

Code derived from javadbf.
