Hey folks
I tried the whole week to get my MySql Database going with the VS Express 2005. Is there a way to Connect via Data -> Add Data Source, where i can select Database, and then some kind of MySQL Driver I only have MS Access Files, and MS SQL Server Connection, there's no other Data Provider.
Where's the Point to tell the IDE of a new DataProvider
I have the MySql .NET Driver installed... I can add "MySqlConnection", "MySqlCommand" and "MySqlDataAdapter" to the Toolbox... but then i hang on :(
It's so nice, simple and Fast, all that DataDesigerStuff and so on...can I manage it to have this going with MySql
Please help...
Can i include MySql to the IDE?

hi,
i'm not sure my friend i'm still learning, but just try to open your form designer.vb the wizard add the code there you can for example add a connection by wizard to access database and then go to your form designer and change the connection for your table adapters ... etc or at least to see what hte wizard did for the access db and to do the same for mysql db all what you gonna change is the connection string that is exist in your app.config
hope that helps

hi,
i don't think you can add it to your project since it just give you options for access and sql server but you can write a connection to mysql
you can learn how to write yoru connection manualy at least overview for that

and the connection string to mysql you can find it here

as I said in mycsharp.de, it is not good to use the wizzard. MySQL doesn't provid a full .net 2.0 provider. So you have to wait. But I don't think, that the DDEX - providor could be used with the Express Edition. Imho it can only be used with a version of vs2005 greater than the standard edition.
