MySQL and Visual Studio
.net, ASP, Development, Microsoft, MySQL, Windows February 20th, 2007
The only database connection tools integrated within Visual Studio are those for Microsoft’s own SQL Server 2005. This is unfortunate for developers who prefer, or only have access to, MySQL databases. Luckily for these developers, MySQL has recently become a Visual Studio Industry Partner and released a couple of addons to ease the burden of accessing MySQL databases within Visual Studio. These tools, known as ‘connectors’, allow developers to access MySQL databases just as easily as they would SQL Server databases.
The package provides the following features:- ADO.NET driver for MySQL
- DDEX capability
- Database object manipulation (tables, stored procedures, etc)
