Between In Sql Server

Databases are an integral part of many C# applications. They are used to store data that can be used in any desktop or web based program. For example the database may contain:

  • Customer details such as name, email and postal address
  • Product details such as price, postage and quantity in stock
  • Order details such as customer and product ids and dispatch dates

Of course, these are only useful if the C# application can access the data. Fortunately that's not a problem if the information is stored in a MySQL database, and that's because MySQL provide a .NET connector. If a programmer uses the MySQL .NET connector then any of their C# applications (or, in fact, any of their .NET based applications) can connect to a MySQL database with very little effort.

Downloading and Installing the MySQL .NET Connector

The MySQL .NET connector installer can be downloaded from the MySQL Connector/Net web page. Once that's been done then the installer can be run (by double clicking on it in Windows Explorer). When the installer has finished its task then the connector will be ready for use.
