Any assistance, examples, etc would be greatly appreciated! TIA, James Back to top Guillem Guest Posted: Fri Apr 27, 2007 8:11 am    Post subject: Re: MySQL D2005 James D.

Any assistance, examples, etc would be greatly appreciated! mmmmmm... - data provider (driver): MySQL has one in their webpage for .NET. This allows the connection between the database and your app. - data access components: you could use BDP or ADO.NET, for example. These components are used to manage the data in your app. - data-aware components: These will allow you to actually show the data to the user and let him/her interact with it. Can't tell much about this in .NET as I'm more a Win32 guy. Some people would argue that to program in a good OO-ish way you would need an additional layer to completely separate GUI logic from business logic. If you could specify a little more what your issues are perhaps we could be more specific. -- Best regards :-) Guillem Vicens Meier Dep.

I have a very simple application that is based on a single table that has very basic product information (product number, description, size, weight). I need users to be able to look up a product by product number, add new products, etc. I am having a hard time figuring out how to connect to the MySQL database at all ... There is a MySQL ODBC driver available from their site and I have used it to connect an MS Access database to the MySQL data. But I can't seem to figure out how to get a D5 .Net application to talk to it. Can you offer an insight into how to accomplish that?

Do not use ODBC with a .NET app. There are 2 reasons for this: - ODBC as data access layer is no longer developed by Microsoft. ADO was designed to substitute it. - ODBC is a Win32 (unmanaged) technology while .NET is a managed one. It's not that simple to connect both. Instead use a MySQL .NET provider. As I already told you, they have one in their website. http://www.mysql.com/products/connector/ Keep in mind the scheme of connection between your app and the database will be like this: MySQL db <----> MySQL .NET provider <---> Your .NET app -- Best regards :-) Guillem Vicens Meier Dep.

There are a couple of things I need to ponder and look in to and I have a few questions that I want to formulate well before I post them to you. I doubt that I will be able to do that before next Monday so please keep an eye on this thread! Many thanks for your suggestions and ideas! I'll be back....
