26.1.14.6. Can I Access MySQL from .NET Environment Using MyODBC?
Yes. You can make use of
odbc.net to connect to MySQL
through MyODBC. Here are the few basic samples to connect to
MySQL from VC.NET and VB.NET.
Here is yet another excellent article
"Exploring
MySQL on .NET environment" by
Venu (MyODBC developer) that
covers about all MySQL .NET interfaces along with some useful
examples.
Caution: Using ODBC.NET with
MyODBC, while fetching empty string (0 length), it starts giving
the SQL_NO_DATA exception. You can get the patch for this from
https://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q319243.
