I've got a vb app that writes data to a remote mysql database.
When I run the app on a client that does not have the mysql connector it crashes (obviously)
How do I programatically check if the connector is installed on the client and throw up a nice error advising to install it - instead of the unhandled exception error - could not load mysql.data etc error?
What i have going on, is i have a MySQL connector as a resource on my application, and im basically trying to connect to my MySQL server, to either a) register a new account, or b) check that the account exists and they are premium, and login, Now what i have run into problems with is: My MySQL Database Name has a _ in it which VB is not allowing for some strange reason.
The code i am using is below
Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient
Public Class Form1
Function UpdateRecord(ByVal query As String) As Integer
[CODE]...
How i can allow the _ into the application, because the only databases that don't have a _ in the user or dbname are a) Paid ones which i DO NOT have the money for or self hosted ones, i cannot leave my computer on 24/7

I am developing an application with VB using the MySQL Connector Net [URL]. Now each time I go to load data in to a datagridview or in to text boxes on a form, I have to provide something along the lines of:
Private Sub btnSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click
'Create connection to MySQL Database
Dim conn As New MySqlConnection
Dim myCommand As New MySqlCommand
conn.ConnectionString = MySQLGlobal
[Code] .....
I think it would be better to leave the connection open to the MySQL database while the application is in use. That way I can just continue to execute queries of inserting and updating, without having the delay of the application having to reconnect. Is there a way where I can create some sort of background task in the application that monitors every few seconds that the connection is still active, and if not it tries to reconnect until its reconnected? I am trying to have it so that then I can code it to just do queries, and when the connection breaks - it disables the form until it is reconnected.

So I am able to create a mysql connection. I have been watching tutorials and they tell me to go Project -> Add Reference and click on MySQL.data
However this does not show up anywhere. ( I have installed the Driver though :S)
I have one multi-row INSERT statement (300 or so sets of values) that I would like to commit to the MySQL database in an all-or-nothing fashion. insert into table VALUES
(1, 2, 3),
(4, 5, 6),
(7, 8, 9);
In some cases, a set of values in the command will not meet the criteria of the table (duplicate key, for example). When that happens I do not want any of the previous sets added to the database. I've implemented this with the following code, however, my rollback command doesn't appear to be making a difference. I've used this documentation: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/es/connector-net-examples-mysqltransaction.html
Dim transaction As MySqlTransaction = sqlConnection.BeginTransaction()
sqlCommand = New MySqlCommand(insertStr, sqlConnection, transaction)
Try
[code]....
I get the DUPLICATE KEY exception thrown, no Rollback Exception thrown, and every set of values up to duplicate key committed to the database.
I can't figure out how to update a field in a MySQL db using MySQL Connector Net 5.2.5. Can anyone show an example code?
View 2 RepliesI am am currently developing an application using Visual Basic 2005 and I am also using the .NET MySQL Connector. I have noticed that when the MySQL Connector executes a query the application freezes for a bit so I was wondering if it is possible to create another application with textboxes, labels, etc, that will be hidden and will execute these queries, but the main application will be able to read and modify data on the hidden application so that it won't freeze.
View 18 RepliesSo, what I'm trying to do is to connect to a remote database using the MySQL connector. Dim c As New MySqlConnection c.ConnectionString = "Server=" & URL & ";Database=" & "" & ";Uid=root" & ";password =" & "" c.Open()I know the connection string is correct. I can access the phpMyAdmin through a web-browser just fine. For some reason however trying to open the connection throws an exception 'Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts'. I tried disabling the VS debugging process, as I thought maybe it's blocking my MySQL access for some reason, but no.

If then the file is found, the program is installed, and you should be able to find the path to the found .exe file. This is more "secure", right? - Because not all program is registred in the registry right? (E.g. if you move it from another location, and doesn't install it).
