The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine

General Discussion

NOTE: i have found hundreds of threads on this error, yet they all seem to suggest using the 'Microsoft access database engine'. however for whatever reason (even though its made for 64-bit office) this did not work on my machine so i was forced to find an alternate method.

  • this resolution works with:
    • 64-bit Windows 7
    • 64-bit MS Office
    • Please reply to this thread if it worked for you so i can make this a full "compatibility list"

    trying to connect to an Access database in visual studio but keep getting this error?
    try installing this first: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13255

    however if, like me, that doesnt work for you, try the following method:
    NOTE: this DOES work for office 2010 even though it is for 2007 office, dont ask me why it just does :)
    1. download and install this: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/confirmation.aspx?id=23734

    How to hide url parameters in asp.net

    There are different ways to Hide the URL in asp.net , you can choose any one from bellow options . Previously I was Explained about the  Difference between Convert.tostring and .tostring() method Example  ,   Reasons to use Twitter Bootstrap , How to Register AJAX toolkit in web.config file in asp.net a) Using Post Method b) Using Of Session . c) URL Encoding & decoding process . d) Using Server.Transfer() instead of Response.Redirect() method (1)Use a form and POST the information. This might require additional code in source pages, but should not require logic changes in the target pages (merely change Request.QueryString to Request.Form). While POST is not impossible to muck with, it's certainly less appealing than playing with QueryString parameters. (2)Use session variables to carry information from page to page.

The ASP.NET MVC framework and ASP.NET Dynamic Data extend routing to provide features that are used only in MVC applications and in Dynamic Data applications.

For example, a request for http://server/application/Products.aspx?id=4 maps to a file that is named Products.aspx that contains code and markup for rendering a response to the browser.
