. NET to access the MySQL database)

. NET databases support MSSQLServer, but not other databases, but Microsoft pushes its own database products in support and marketing based on its own interests and needs. However, as a platform strategy, instead of rejecting other databases, he proposed a set of database access specifications based on the java System to allow various third parties to develop and provide specific drivers.

　　

MySQL is a free database with irreplaceable advantages in terms of cost, but it is not provided yet. Microsoft regards MySQL as an ODBC database and can be accessed according to ODBC. Net specifications. For details, refer

　　

Http://www.microsoft.com/china/community/Columns/Luyan/6.mspx

　　

In fact, for ODBC. Net requires the trouble to configure DSN, but an open-source system MySQLDriverCS has emerged. It encapsulates MySQL development and implements access to the MySQL database system in the. net environment.

　　

Http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysqldrivercs/

　　

By reading the source code, we can see that the idea of MySQLDriverCS is to use the underlying library of the C function to manipulate the database. Generally, the c dll of the database that provides access to the MySQL database is called libmySQL. dll driver file, MySQLDriverCS as.. net Library to encapsulate the C-style driver.

　　

How to proceed?

　　

After opening the project, we can see that there is a special. cs file CPrototypes. cs:
