WebMatrix and MySql

Hello guys,

is there anyway i can connect to MySql through WebMatrix using asp.net

Thanks

Hey,

What is this "WebMatrix" that you speak of?

Is it this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASP.NET_Web_Matrix

If so, why are you still using it? Why not use Visual Web Developer Express Edition?

visual studio express is large, and can't afford to download it. am using a dailup connection.

web matrix is lighter for me

please help

Hey,

The actual download, if you choose to not download the msdn library and SQL Server Express isn't that large, so I would suggest that you try and get your hands on it.

I have never used WebMatrix, so I can't even begin to tell you whether it will work, and how you would go about doing it.

With Visual Studio Express you would start by grabbing the following:

Adding a reference to it in your project, and then creating your MySqlConnection, MySqlCommand, and then retrieving the results of the query.
