Doesn't c# use .Net connectors?
Microsoft did change their strategy regarding ODBC, MDAC, OLE DB several times.
Including deprecating and un-deprecating OLE DB as well as ODBC.
Currently, I don't think ODBC can be seen as an "old technology", nor is it
deprecated.
The Postgres ODBC driver is well maintained and I don't see a reason not to use it.
