Connecting .NET application to a MySQL Database is as easy as 123

By Aurelie A. Peralta

I have a website client that commissioned me to create a website with some portions of it are active server pages that uses a database to display vital informations for its users. I developed the website using ASP.NET technology but immediately after showing him the homepage design of his website, told me to use MySQL for the database. Although it is not the popular choice for an ASP.NET application database, he opted to use MySQL probably because of its low cost in terms of hosting fees. Besides, there is no great deal in granting his request because in .NET, connecting to a MySQL database is as easy as 123. (moreā€¦)
