Hi Tim,
Thank you for posting in the community!
First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need to know which data provider to
use to connect to a MySQL database in .NET. If there is any
misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
In my opinion, it is recommended to use the official drivers. The official
MySQL website only provides ODBC drivers. It can be downloaded here:
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/index.html
However, some third party companies has developed OleDb providers and .NET
data providers for MySQL. Since you are developing on a .NET application,
you can also try to use an .NET data provider. It might be optimized for
MySQL. Here is the link for one of them:
HTH. If anything is unclear, please feel free to reply to the post.
