private void btnDBF_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection oleDbConnection1
         = new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection();
    oleDbConnection1.ConnectionString
        = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=..\..\..\..\Database\demo.mdb";

    System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand oleDbCommand1
        = new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand();
    oleDbCommand1.CommandText = "select * from parts";
    oleDbCommand1.Connection = oleDbConnection1;

    Spire.DataExport.DBF.DBFExport dbfExport1
        = new Spire.DataExport.DBF.DBFExport();

    dbfExport1.ActionAfterExport = Spire.DataExport.Common.ActionType.OpenView;
    dbfExport1.FileName = "sample.dbf";
    dbfExport1.SQLCommand = oleDbCommand1;

    oleDbConnection1.Open();
    dbfExport1.SaveToFile();
}

Private Sub btnDBF_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDBF.Click
    Dim oleDbConnection1 As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection()
    oleDbConnection1.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=..\..\..\..\Database\demo.mdb"

    Dim oleDbCommand1 As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand()
    oleDbCommand1.CommandText = "select * from parts"
    oleDbCommand1.Connection = oleDbConnection1

    Dim dbfExport1 As New Spire.DataExport.DBF.DBFExport()

    dbfExport1.ActionAfterExport = Spire.DataExport.Common.ActionType.OpenView
    dbfExport1.FileName = "sample.dbf"
    dbfExport1.SQLCommand = oleDbCommand1

    oleDbConnection1.Open()
    dbfExport1.SaveToFile()
