If you ain't got the Virtual Machine, you can't run the program.

I would guess the same applies. If it ain't installed, you can't use it.

As for MySQL, you can use it just like SQL Server, except you use things
like MySqlConnection as opposed to SqlConnection. If you want your code to
be database agnostic you have a couple of choices. You could use an OleDB
connection, or (better, I think) could test a variable or perhaps something
in your config file on startup to determine which types to use. For example
you could write two DALs and call the appropriate one depending on the
contents of something in your App.config.

I even put the MySQL connector/.NET classes in my VS2005 toolbox.

Hi all

I would like to program an application with C# Express (for now,
because I'll soon use VS.NET 2005 not in "express version") that would
use Mysql 5 and Office 2007 in automation (Word, Excel, Access). I've
read about the Mysql 5.1 connector and plugin so I'll try it tonight.
I'd like to have your advice on the following ideas, please :

- Could my application be easily packaged and deployed (with all that
will be needed, such as the mysql 5 components) ? Even on XP machines
that don't have the .NET Framework 2 ?

- Could my application use the Office 2007 components on machines that
don't have Office 2007 installed ?

Thank you- Masquer le texte des messages précédents -

Thank you very much for these informations.

I've choosen to develop the basics of the application under visual c#
express 2005, and as soon as we'll have a full vs.net 2005 I hope that
we'll be able to import our visual C# express project into it. Also
I've noticed, but maybe that's wrong, that one cannot package an
application for deployment under visual c# express.

For the db I'll use Access 2007 (Office 2007 in eval mode) and I hope
that this will not be a problem for the compatibility with lower
versions of office installed on our client's machines. I'll work in
compatibility mode (mdb db created in office 97/2003 mode).

I'll use Word automation from visual c# express 2005 to automate the
creation of word documents.

If you have any ideas or reflexions about all that... :)

Thanks again.
