Mysql Static Dll

'Add a reference to MySql.Data.dll' means you need to add a library reference to the downloaded connector. The IDE will link the database connection library with your application when it compiles. Step-by-Step Example I downloaded the binary (no installer) zip package from the MySQL web site, extracted onto the desktop, and did the following: • Create a new project in Visual Studio • In the Solution Explorer, under the project name, locate References and right-click on it. Select 'Add Reference'. • In the 'Add Reference' dialog, switch to the 'Browse' tab and browse to the folder containing the downloaded connector.

MySQL open source software is provided under the GPL License. OEMs, ISVs and VARs can. Connector/C (libmysqlclient) is a client library for C development.

Navigate to the 'bin' folder, and select the 'MySql.Data.dll' file. • At the top of your code, add using MySql.Data.MySqlClient. If you've added the reference correctly, IntelliSense should offer to complete this for you.

This is an older question, but I found it yesterday while struggling with getting the MySQL Connector reference working properly on examples I'd found on the web. I'm working with VS 2010 on Win7 64 bit but have to work with.NET 3.5. As others have stated, you need to download the.Net & Mono versions (I don't know why this is true, but it's what I've found works). The link to the connectors is given above in the earlier answers. • Extract the connectors somewhere convenient.

The Solution Explorer shows up in the top right pane for me, but YMMV). • In Properties, select References & locate the instance for mysql.data.

It's likely to have a yellow bang on it (Yellow triangle with exclamation point in it). • Then on the menu bar, navigate to Project > Add Reference. > Browse > point to where you downloaded the connectors. I have only been able to get the V2 version to work, but that may be a factor of my platform, not sure. • Clean & build your application. You should now be able to use the MySQL connectors to talk to your database.

• You can also now downgrade your.NET instance if you need to (we're constrained to.NET 3.5, but mysql.data.dll wants 4.0 at the time of my writing this). On the menu bar, navigate to the properties of your project (Project > Properties).

Choose the Application tab > Target framework > Choose which.NET framework you want to use. You have to build the application at least once before you can change the.NET framework. Once you built once the connector will no longer complain about the lower version of.NET.
