converting .dbf files to sql server 2000

Hi..

I want to convert .dbf files to sql server 2000 tables.. without using any tools. I need to create a different structure for sql server tables other than contains in the .dbf files. May be the dbf files contain only 3 columns. but i need 5 columns and some calculations to determine the values of some fields to insert into sql server table...

i need to code this using c# in asp.net.. can u help me?

thanks in advance..

A .dbf file is Character and Number data types but the chart below is all the different types yo need to convert that to so I don't see how you can do it without ETL(extraction transformation and loading) tool. So create a DTS package to move your data. Hope this helps.

Assuming your dbf files are for FoxPro the links below is all I have got and I cannot tell you anything about it because I have never used it. Hope this helps.
