Hi all,

I'm not a programmer so please forgive my ignorance. I'm learning visual studio c# to write a tool for work. What I'd like to do is have the user input a wire # for a piece of hardware. The program connects to a database which has all the wire information. The program pulls the data associated with the wire #. The program parses the pdf file to get location where that wire terminates then it displays a diagram with the location highlighted.

For example:

User input:

Hardware X Wire B

File for Hardware X Looks like:

TB XYZ Wire A Terminal Block 1

Wire B Terminal Block 2

Wire C Terminal Block 3

Program Output:

T1 T2 T3


The graphic/diagram will change with each wire. I can figure out the diagram part. I'm lost at connecting to the database and parsing the PDF data.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Laura
