Re: Embed MySQL into c# .Net application

I've success to manage my app(vb.net+connector 5.2.1) to use mysql on a stand-alone environment (flashdisk/portable hdd) without needed to install mysql server. But this is "not embed". Just a little trick to manipulate mysql startup.

This is how i do:
1. put a function to modify my.ini/my.cnf to adjust the basedir and datadir value based your application.startuppath on your app startup event.
2. then launch the mysql engine directly from your app.
3. load the main form as normal.

In this case (portable application) not recomended to use other storage than MyISAM.

hope this can help ^^

Thanks..
