Default Update on last publish

Just so everyone who is downloading this knows, this application had an error i was unaware of when i pushed it out. When you close the application it continues to run in the back ground, the only explanation i have for this is that it must be an error in vb.net 2008. I tried very hard for the rest of the night after discovering it only to find that the one function that would resolve this was removed in 2008.

Well after some playing with the code i was able to fix this issue by starting a separate class and branching from there, anyone demoing the current version please be advised that the error will not be resolved until the next publish Jan 26 2008.

I just happen to of noticed this project today and I noticed that you are using ODBC for the DB connection. I was just wondering if you had a specific reason why you wanted to use ODBC over the ADO.Net MySql drivers you can get from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/5.0.html . In my experience ADO.Net is much faster and easier to work with than ODBC. Well, I will check this out and look forward to future versions.

Default Ado.net

I didn't know about these drivers. Thank you for the information i will look into it. Also, It this a separate install like ODBC, or can it be included with the app build?

All you need to do is reference the MySql.Data.Dll in your project and when you create your install package it will include it as a dependency, all the clients need is the DLL for it to work.

Will MySql.Data.Dll also apply to VB6 as well?

I do not believe so. It is a ADO.NET implementation of the MySql Data Connector.

Default great

That sounds great i have not had time to test it yet as i just started a new job, however if it works as great as it sounds i will absolutely use it as it is one less thing that must be installed with applet nt to mention the faster access time.
