Having issues getting mySQL++ 2.1 to work with VS.net 2005, any tutorials or advice?

[voidflux]

Hello everyone, I'm having issues getting Visual Studio 2005.net to work with mySQL++ 2.1.1.

I download mySQL 5.0 which is located in C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0

Inside this directory i have bin, include, data, etc files

Am I suppose to use this database or the one provided by VS.net?

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 installed at:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\
Which has some files called: 90, 80 and MSSQl.1

What i'm trying to do is create a console application with C++ where the user can enter some information and it will be stored in a mySQL server and from the console you can access the data, delete it, sort it, etc

I'm doing this for a term project due at the end of the semester but i'm having troubles getting mySQL++ to work with VS 2005. I can't compile any of the examples becuase It can't find the mySQL++ libraries nor do I think it knows which database i'm using, the mySQL 5.0 or the MIcrosoft mySQL server. i'm not sure which would work better.

I downloaded the following file:
mysql++-2.1.1.tar

I have it on my system but i'm not sure how i'm suppose to tell Microsoft Visual Studio C++ to find the libraries that mySQL++ uses.


Does anyone know of any websites or tutorials that explain how to get it all set up so I can run the examples provided by mySQL++ 2.1.1?

I tried google but they are only showing some tutorials with Visual Studio 6 and an older version of mySQL++. The website that has tutorials for this assume you already figured out how to isntall it and get it working with your compiler: http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++/doc/u...html#id2860437



Thank you sorry about rambling!
