Connecting MySQL with Visual Studio C#

Question

I\'m new to MySQL Workbench and I\'m trying to make a Timekeeping system. I\'m wondering how to connect MySQL with Visual Studio C#?

Answer 1

you'll need a "connector/driver" to connect from .net to mysql, you can find the official .net connector from mysql here:

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/

the connector will install the MySql.Data library that you has classes to communicate to MySql (MySqlConnection, MySqlCommand, MySqlDataAdapter, etc)
