Question

Hey! I’ve searched high and low for this, and no luck. Is there a way that CRUD methods for a MySQL install (Linux box) be exposed via ADO.NET WCF Data Services? I would really love to leverage this in my WPF app 🙂

Thank u!

EDIT:

😀 I am aware that it’s called Windows Communication Foundation, but just thought I’d put it out there and hope that it is possible

Answer 1

The only way to do this would be to use a something like a MySql to linq provider and host the wcf service on a windows server box which connects to the mysql linux box in the usual connection string way.

So you will need windows server as well as the linux one hosting the mysql database, unless you want to move the mysql instance to the same windows box.

Hope this helps.

Have a look at the Mono WCF Core stack, this might be better for you.
