Database

[sonofskeletor]

Hi Folks, im trying to create a database but running into a slight problem, i cant get my database to read the strings inside of the file.

These are some examples of the things i have tried.

        public static Game.Character LoadCharacter(string Name, ref string Account)
        {
            try
            {
                //string Acc = "";
                Game.Character C = new Game.Character();
                MyIni I = new MyIni(@"D:\OldCODB\Database\Chars\" + C.Name + ".ini");
                {
                    C.Name = Name;
                    C.AccountName = I.ReadString("Account", "AccountID", Account);
                  //C.AccountName = I.ReadString("Account", "AccountID", Account);
                  //C.AccountName = Account;
                  //Account = I.ReadString("Account", "AccountID", C.AccountName = Account);
                  //C.AccountName = Account;
                  //Account = I.ReadString("Account","AccountID", Acc);

...No flatfile databases we're abandoned when managed databases were designed and found to be much more efficient, you wouldn't be having this problem either lol.

Well i like Flatfile, there i find them easier to deal with, i cant stand sql, and binary is just a pain in the ***, atleast flatfile is somewhat protected and it is easy to deal with.

So your opting for inefficiency because you find them easier to deal with? Come on, really?

The hell is wrong with people nowadays.

**** it, go download a binary, they are easier to deal with than using C# sources aswell, so you might aswell go the whole way.

You can combine it with things like mysql/mssql for database structures etc. that's what I'm doing in the new base I'm coding. Will be xml/mssql xD
