MySql Connection Suddenly Broken
-
Gentleman: I was using a MySql connection in VS 2008 in a database that I made with .Net 3.5 and it worked perfectly (a year ago). I updated to .Net 4.0 about that time but I have not had to use MySql since. Yesterday, I tried to get a MySql connector for .Net 4.0 project and I have not been able to do it. I have tried an older version connector but it does not work at all (no intellisence). In fact, the VS 2008 app no longer works, and the only way I can justify this is to feel that the some update along the way has nullified the original reference. So....is there a dot net connector for MySql for .Net 4.0?...which one works?...and where do I get it from? The dev.mysql.com site seems to be down right now. Thank You for your help...Pat Well...OK...since I could not get an answer here, I tried the following and it seems to have resolved the issue; I downloaded the provider marked 6.4.4 from the site dev.mysql.com, but I UNINSTALLED all previous MySql providers first from my (.Net 4.0) application and it is now working perfectly. I hope this will help someone else..:-).

MySQL resources are a little thin on the ground here, it is after all a MS centric site and your problem is a little esoteric. Glad you posted your resolution as it may well help the next poor sod struggling with this.
