Re: Beginning to use MySQL with C#

[Kevin Hills]

I am trying to connect to a mySQL database v5 using C#, I downloaded the mySql Connector mysql-connector-net-1.0.6.zip; The Sample code 'Table Editor' connects with no problem in VS2005 B2, but if I create a new project in VS2005 B2, and cut and paste the code from 'Table Editor' it doesn't connect to the mySql database. I think it has to do with the reference to the MySql.Data.dll, as in the sample the reference points to 'C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\MySQL.Data\1.0.6.15336__c5687fc88969c44d\MySQL.Data.dll', but in my project, when I try to browse to the same path i can only get to 'C:\WINDOWS\assembly\MySQL.Data\' the GAC just doesn't seem to 'exist'. What am I doing wrong? Is there another way I can reference this?
