Connect and view data using Razor from external MS access database .mdb
Hi,
I have tried to find out how I should connect to an external database (in this specific case a MS Access database .mdb) and view the data using Razor syntax in Umbraco, but I had no luck yet. Could anybody perhaps help or guide me in the proper direction? Some say that you could (or should) use .Net to connect to the database and retrieve data and then use Razor to manipulate how the data is display in the Frontend. But I would like to see an example so I understand how it is done.

Hi Martin
Have you been able to figure this one out yet?
Don't know what approach you have taken but I suppose it should work if you do as suggested here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19205602/using-access-databases-with-razor-mvc4
Hope this helps.
