Connector/NET enables developers to easily create .NET applications
that require secure, high-performance data connectivity with MySQL.
It implements the required ADO.NET interfaces and integrates into
ADO.NET aware tools. Developers can build applications using their
choice of .NET languages. Connector/NET is a fully managed ADO.NET
driver written in 100% pure C#.
Connector/NET includes full support for:
MySQL 5.0 features (such as stored procedures)
MySQL 4.1 features (server-side prepared statements, Unicode,
and shared memory access, and so forth)
Large-packet support for sending and receiving rows and BLOBs up
to 2 gigabytes in size.
Protocol compression which allows for compressing the data
stream between the client and server.
Support for connecting using TCP/IP sockets, named pipes, or
shared memory on Windows.
Support for connecting using TCP/IP sockets or Unix sockets on
Unix.
Support for the Open Source Mono framework developed by Novell.
Fully managed, does not utilize the MySQL client library.
This document is intended as a user's guide to Connector/NET and
includes a full syntax reference. Syntax information is also
included within the Documentation.chm file
included with the Connector/NET distribution.
If you are using MySQL 5.0 or later, and Visual Studio as your
development environment, you may want also want to use the MySQL
Visual Studio Plugin. The plugin acts as a DDEX (Data Designer
Extensibility) provider, enabling you to use the data design tools
within Visual Studio to manipulate the schema and objects within a
MySQL database. For more information, see
Section 26.3, âMySQL Visual Studio Pluginâ.
