Newbie question using Visual C++ 2005

[Frank Stephan]

Hi,

After some weeks of waiting for MS access (because it´s rather slow ;-) ), I deceided to try to code parts in C. Now I´ve installed VC++ express edition and mysql-connector-c-noinstall-6.0.2-win32-vs2005.

That´s how far I am:

#include <stdio.h>
#pragma comment(lib,"mysqlclient.lib")
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
return 0;
}

As you can see: nothing. But at this time it compiles without errors ;-) Is there anywhere something like a tutorial and/or short and clear example how to work now with the library? I´ve searched for hours but I didn´t find anything. I´m a little bit confused, because I´ve got no problems in VB2005 using the .net connector...

What I want to do:
Connecting
Sending queries
Reading queries/data rows
Update/Delete etc.

Many thanks!
