How To: From MS Access create a ODBC Table Link to DataTable inside a DOT NET APP 

So the DOT NET APP is like a poor mans SQL Server (or Data Server)

The Data is in memory and does not need to be persisted or saved 

Pointers in the right direction would help 

Many Thanks In Advance

What I have tried:

I can do this with 2 MS Access Databases with one being the server holding the test table and the other being empty and just adding a linked table .... but here I am wanting a DOT NET APP to be the Server of the Data and MS Access to simply be a Client via a Linked Table

You have to create a provider one of the database drivers installed on the system, such as OLEDB, ODBC, or whatever.

THIS IS FAR FROM A TRIVIAL TASK!! The documentation on this subject is very sparse. You can find the start of it here[^].

More on a few samples (NONE OF WHICH ARE VB.NET OR C#!) can be found here[^].
