I've been looking for anything that can help me figure this out and so far it's not going so well. I have a .dll file ( MySql.Data.dll ) that I'd like to be able to open, view and possibly edit the database but I can't find any examples or documentation on doing so.
Does anyone have the code that can share it with me so I can learn how to construct this type of application or point me in the right direction? I'd really appreciate it.

Any ADO.NET examples will do. Follow the ADO.NET Examples link in my signature. The code uses SQL Server-specific classes but you simply substitute the MySQL-specific equivalents, e.g. MySqlConnection instead of SqlConnection. You can get the connection string format from www.connectionstrings.com.
Thanks jmcilhinney. Been having issues connecting here. I will check it out and hopefully find something useful.

Me too. Must have been a server issue or something at that end.Quote:

Hope this helps!!

Thanks Gary...I was trying to make it work using jm's stuff but haven't figured it out yet.

Hey,
You should be able to get it to work using jm's suggestion, the techniques are exactly the same, but the tutorial I linked to shows specific MySQL examples.
You might want to post some code though to see if we can help out.
