I have created a program in VB Express 2008 for a small company to store and manipulate data. Currently we store our data using SQL Express 2008 on our work server. This runs smoothly with no known issues.
We have several employees who are very rarely in the office who now need access to the database to create reports and view information for meetings etc. It is now time to migrate the database over to MySQL!
As I am using VB Express 2008 I have no MySql References available, I read several articles and forum posts on this subject that told me to download SQL Connector .Net 5.2.7 to enable me to browse and add the MySQL.Data reference. I have tried several versions and have had no success, if you have any suggestions on how I can find the MySQL Reference it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
What’s your problem? you can not add the reference? You were not very clear..
Just download http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/
then you will be able to add reference for Mysql.Data to your project.
PS : Here you can find the manuals ( http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ )
