Query .dbf files in .net core 3?

Question

I've been tasked with re-writing an old winforms app so that it works in .net core 3. I've ran into a brick wall where the original app uses OleDB to query some large .dbf files, and there's no equivalent in .net core. Has anybody had to do similar? If so what was the best approach?

I'm stuck with the .dbf files unfortunately as these are created by a 3rd party application (That I think was created using VF Pro many many many moons ago??)

I ran into a similar problem some time ago, needing to read DBase files and finding no C# support. I ended up writing the DBase.NET (GitHub) library - it may help you out.
