Check for MS Access database table if not exist create it

Question

How do you programmatically check for MS Access database table, if not exist then create it?

Answer 1

an easy way to do this is

public bool CheckTableExistance(string TableName)
    {
        // Variable to return that defines if the table exists or not.
        bool TableExists = false;

        // Try the database logic
        try
        {
            // Make the Database Connection
            ConnectAt();

            // Get the datatable information
            DataTable dt = _cnn.GetSchema("Tables");

            // Loop throw the rows in the datatable
            foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
            {
                // If we have a table name match, make our return true
                // and break the looop
                if (row.ItemArray[2].ToString() == TableName)
                {
                    TableExists = true;
                    break;
                }
            }

            //close database connections!
            Disconnect();
            return TableExists;
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            // Handle your ERRORS!
            return false;
        }
    }
