connecting to mysql in vb.net

Jun 24 2004 2:53 AM
Good day. I have a problem in connecting to mysql in vb.net. I created a udl file that connects to a mysql data source using odbc. -- Dim ftpcon As New System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection Dim ftpcom As New System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand Dim ftpdatareader As Odbc.OdbcDataReader sub init ftpcon.ConnectionString = "File Name=" & Application.StartupPath.ToString & _ "\cgcserver.udl" ftpcom.Connection = ftpcon ftpcon.open end sub -- when i just initialize the following code, it generates an error stating, "keyword not supported, file name" . but in other connections, such as oledb it works just fine. doest odbc.net doesnt support udl's? im using visual studio.net 2003 any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you very much,.
