Dec 22, 2011I'm wondering if I create a program that connects to a mysql database, will they be able to decompile it and do anything with the mysql connection information?

View 18 RepliesI am developing a chat application using online connection to a mysql databbase. But i am facing a problem. After 10 minutes, MySQL closes all the chat connections because of the 600 seconds timeout (has been set by the host service i am using). I don't understand why is that happening cause every piece of my code which needs data from the database opens and closes the connection (i mean that it dosn't maintain the connection after the query's execution). If i .close() and .dispose() the connection, it still appears in mysql at sleep mode (it terminates only if i exit the program).
Dim MySQLCon as New MySQLConnection
Dim MySQLCom as New MySQLCom
Dim counter as Short

The program is currently trying to pull information from three different database tables and compiling the information onto one screen, to do this i am using three different connections and a function to handle the data at each stage. The issue is as my code hits PageLoadStage of "2" and runs the QueryDatabase() Function i am encountering an error of: "OleDB exception unhandled: No value given for one or more of the required parameters." This occurs on line 15 of the first code snippet. Can anyone explain this and/or identify any code issues if that is the cause.

I'm trying to make a rather simple Visual Basic app with which I can update some tables within my MySQL databases.I've been following this tutorial from page 3 on, as the first 2 pages where on how to initialize a local MySQL database.My MySQL database is on my website, so I thought I had to use the website's name instead of "localhost". Anyways, I now use this code:
Dim connection As MySqlConnection
connection = New MySqlConnection()
connection.ConnectionString = "Server=resload.com; Uid=***; Pwd=***; Database=***;"
[code]....
But it popups (don't now whether that's a real word :p) with the message:Error Connecting to Database: Access denied for user '***'@'my ipaddress' (using password: YES)?
how to create modules and consequently how to use them.I need to do a database in mySql from vb.net. I have tried the usual way, that is my connecting to the database at the beginning of each of my class. I want to know if that can be done through modules, as far as i have read about that or some other way like procedures and functions. In that way, it could ease my coding in not having to write the db connection each time.

I'm guessing the connection string is wrong, I'm going to try the server as localhost, but in the mean time hopefully someone might see what I might be doing wrong.I'd also like to look into doing it asynchronously, so the UI doesn't freeze,
I am having and issue with showing my database in another form. It works fine if I have it display in the current form but this is not what I want. I want to connect to the database and then have it show my query in a second form. If you don't get me here's my code.
CODE:
And then the code in form 2 is

It comes to the error when it gets to "ContactsAdapter.Fill(ContactsData)".
I am trying to pass some information from a VB form to my MySQL database. i have named all the textbox's the same as the field in the database and checked all my database fields and textbox names which are all correct. When i try to enter information into a form I sometimes get an error at the .executeNonQuery section of the code.
To test, I outputted the SQLStatement string to a textbox ( which pulled through all the fields from the textboxes correctly) then manually inputted the completed SQL query into the database and it worked. But when I try to do this in one go it seems to fail if there is too much text ( if i enter 'a' into each field it works). Are they limits to the size of the SQL query that can be passed from VB?? all the MySql database fields are set to text with no size limits.

Currently I have been using mysql connectors to send and retreive information from my database. Someone suggested that a web service (wdsl? etc) would be a more efficient way of sending information both ways.
View 9 RepliesWe have a VB6 program that uses an ADODB.Connection to establish a database connection and use its execute function to run SQL statements. The connection we have established is to a SQL Server. It has been working fine. Currently, I am trying to change the connection to a MySQL database. I changed the connection string and the connection is ok.
However, when it comes to running the execute function, it returns a runtime error 3246 - connection object cannot be explicitly closed while in a transaction.
I checked the connection.status before calling execute and found that it is open. When I use MySQL's server connections to check the status, I found that there was a connection before and after execute was called.
I encountered this same error whether I used MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver or MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver.
I am building a database application using MYSQL as the backend. The MYSQL instance will be installed remotely on a share host. I have access to SSL certificates. I'm obviously not looking for any code but, conceptually, how do I go about securing the connection using SSL between my application and the remote MYSQL database?
View 2 RepliesI have some software that grabs information from a mysql server. However, users minimize it to the system tray, and leave it idle for hours until using it again.If a user leaves the program idling for about 15 minutes, then goes into the program again to perform a query, it throws a Fatal Error in the mysql, and says 'connection must be valid and open'
The reason is simply because the mysql connection has timed out..I was wondering what the code would be to re-connect to the server IF it has timed out.
I want to add a new Data Source (so I can use it with Crystal Reports) but using mysql, I did this before.
In the left side under: 'Data Sources' and then choosed 'Add New DataSource'Then I choose: Database > Dataset I clicked in 'New Connection' and I changed the first box (with 'change' button (as you can see in the image attached)) to what is showed in the image (MySQL Database..)The problem is, as I type the first letter of any of the textbox's that are below (server, user, or pwd) it closes that form showing the previous form (where I clicked 'New Connection')
Have someone had this problem ?I had a connection there, but since I changed the project from 'Framwork 4 Client Profile' to 'Framework 4' (so I could have the Crystal Report Viewer) the connection has gone and don't leaves me create it again.PD: I'm using dotNetConnector (already Added as a Reference)
My program needs to connect to a mysql db, but if the users has no internet or fails to connect i don't want my app to crash
View 4 RepliesI'm creating a database management program and I just got started. I will be using a login form and a form that is the management part. The MySQL connection will be created on the login form and I was wondering how to get it to the other form. What I thought I should do is create a public mysqlconnection property on the login form and just use it from there. I don't think I have ever known the correct way of transferring a mysqlconnection over 2 forms.

View 1 RepliesI was looking for some stuff online, and i was looking through my reference sheets for vb.net, but it seems in the code i have found, there is declare in methods. Below is an example i am talking about. The thing is, that i dont recognize it and believe that it is an earlier version of Visual Basic ( 6 or earlier) which used it. Should i just keep looking for different code?
Public Declare Function RegOpenKey Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegOpenKeyA" (ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal _
lpSubKey As String, phkResult As Long) As Long
Goal: Find information on how to implement a method which will check if a certain DSN exists, and then if it does, extract the information and use the information for connection purposes.
I have a project where I added visually and successfully a datasource of MySql. I binded a datagridview with a table.
But, how do I change programatically the password, ip or user to connect with the MySql server? Because it can change at any time, so I can let the user change these values.

I've written an application and I'm trying to utilise a database behind it. I've created a mysql database, and table which all appears to work correctly. I appear to have connected to the db correctly too. And hit a bit of a brick wall. As a side-note, within Visual studio connected to the database using the add data source wizard, I then dragged and dropped my db table's column onto my form that intends to display them all (6 textboxes, including primary key) and that now displays the first record of the table. It confused me, because i did this as soon as I had setup the database with no visual basic code assisting, so there wasn't even a connection string?!
One functionality i want to have is to press a button and cycle through the table's records using the form by the unique id, how would I do this? I'm essentially asking how can I enter a number in a textbox which would then return me the relevant primary key and data attached to that record.
I'm pretty new to Visual Basic, do mostly web programming in PHP/MySQL. Need to pull data from a MySQL Database using Visual Basic Program I'm making. Need to when I click a radio button, it shows in text box only the results from a table with a certain trait(as set in the database) etc. For example if an item is set to a certain category. And i click the radio button for that category it shows me only items in that category. I've attached an image of sort of what I've got. I've already downloaded the ADO connector from mysql site. I just need kind of a push from there or a link to a few really good articles. Followed a few youtube videos but I was unsuccessful somehow.
View 1 RepliesI'm using the latest version of the MYSQL DotNet Connector (currently 6.3.7) and I am unable to connect to my database at all with it. It keeps giving me an error. I can connect the the database using SQLyog with the exact same information but not with this.
This is the error:
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond Here is the code I'm using:

I am trying to follow this userguide url... to basically build an application that will allow users to connect to my database, from an exe file. I'll try to explain as best i can. The plan is, users will launch an exe file that i have built in Visual Basic(VB) 2010 Express. When they launch the application they will see a 'login screen'.I am following the example guide (see link above), and will customise it once i can connect to the database. For some reason whenever i connect to the database it gives me two errors, the first is if i use the 'debug' mode in VB to test the script (note it doesn't produce any build errors), the second is if i build the application and run it as my users would.
1)Error Connecting to Database:Access denied for user 'mike'@'92.**.**.***' (using password:YES)
2)Error Connecting to Database:Unable to access any of the specified MySQL hosts..The ip address starred out (*) is my local machine ip address.The server is the server in which my Database runs on. 'mike' is a listed user on my 'user' table, the password i use is the password assigned to this user on my table.
3)I've rebuilt the whole VB project, but still no joy, wern't expecting it to as there were no errors generated.
4) I've read, but don't really understand that it could be something to do with my database not being able to be controlled remotely, only locally. I started digging into 'Access Your MySQL Server Remotely Over SSH', didn't really know if i was going completely off the mark, it didn't mention needing to do any of this in the guide i've been following, but just a thought. It might be the case as i've tried to access my database through a programme called MySQL Administrator. I punch in the host,username etc and connect to my database, for some reason it won't allow me to add new users, could this be because i can't control my database remotely? Would this stop what i'm trying to do working?
5) When trying to install the MySQL.Data.dll file i had great difficulty in choosing one and finding it, adding it to my project using the 'Add reference' in VB. Finnally got it how it should be (i think), installed MySQL.Data.dll Ver 6.1.2.0 into my project.
I want my vb application to communicate with a MySql database on server on a LAN. What connection string can i use? Also, what syntax can i use? My application is installed on many computers in LAN with one central MySql database. I want all data to go to the database.
View 1 RepliesI am using Visual Studio 2010. I want to do database connectivity using VB.Net and MS SQL Server 2005. I know 1 way of doing this. Following are the steps...
1. Create a new Data Source Using Data Sources Window.
2. Select the appropriate view like details view/ data grid view for that data source
3. Drag that data source on your form and connectivity is done. Also all the controls are created by the visual studio.
This feature is really cool but I want to learn database connectivity by pure coding without using such advanced features. Also is it possible to do connectivity from a class library ?
