Visual C# Express Beta 2 and MYSQL?

Is it possible to use MySQL as a database for C# express?

Hi,

of course you can do so. Here is an example if you write an asp.net page in c#, but it also should work with winforms:

Yes. But you will need to make the connection directly via code rather than through the IDE. The IDE in C# 2005 Express only supports local data connections. Remote connections are supported in higher level versions of Visual Studio.

Thank you - that was the answer I was looking for. Do you have a sample of this code handy somewhere?

Lance,
Which versions of VS support remote connections?
