copy database

How can I call mysqldump or mysqlhotcopy from vb.net code? thanks.

VB Code:

Module Module1
 
   Sub Main()
      Try
         Dim p As New Process()
         p.StartInfo.FileName = "mysqldump"
         p.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "d:\mysql\bin"
         p.StartInfo.Arguments = "--user=root personnel"
         p.Start()
      Catch ex As Exception
         Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
      End Try
   End Sub
 
End Module

like this? if not, sorry...

thank you. that is something i am looking for. Could you give me sample code to pass argument to musqldump, what I want to do is pass a selected db and dump it to a new file, something like mysqldump(from, to).

to tell you the truth, i don't know much about mysql. i just use the process object since you want to run a process from mysql directory. i'm so sorry...

all i can suggest is for you to know the arguments you need and put it in the .arguments of your process. again, sorry...

don't be sorry. At least I learned a little about the Process object from you. Thank. :wave:
