Support Forums - [C#][VB.NET] MySQL Example

Just a basic example for connecting to your online database. Shouldn't be hard to convert C# to VB.NET.

Code:
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;

MySqlConnectionStringBuilder conString = new MySqlConnectionStringBuilder();

conString.Server = "server/host here";

conString.Database = "database here";

conString.UserID = "username here";

conString.Password = "password here";

MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection(conString.ToString());

MySqlCommand cmd = con.CreateCommand();

try

{

con.Open();

MessageBox.Show("Connected");

}

catch

{

MessageBox.Show("Cannot connect");

}

That's C++ and this is C#.

Just for that ? Put a code (C#) in Visual basic... I'm crazy or ??

I don't know what you're trying to point out here....

You pointed towards a C++ forum, and now you're referencing C#/VB? Unsure

Yes C#/VB can be easily converted, but you can't put C# code directly into VB... Conversions still have to be made.

I do not see C# subforum around here, so why not post in here? It is part of the .NET Framework and it's not hard to convert C# to VB.NET

Exactly, read the forum title: "Visual Basic and the .NET Framework"

VB & C# are traditionally Microsoft languages built around the .NET Framework. The other forum is specifically for C++ programming. And C++ doesn't have to be .NET.

Just a note if your connecting to a SQL database your better off just creating a httpwebrequest to a page and letting PHP handle the connection so your database information will be much safer

Converting code isnt that hard, i'll post a few links to converters once i get ten posts and this limit is removed
