MySQLDirect .NET Data Provider 4.00

MySQLDirect .NET is data provider to direct access to MySQL database server for the Microsoft .NET Framework and .NET Compact Framework. It completely based on ActiveX Data Objects for the .NET Framework (ADO.NET) technology.
ADO.NET provides a rich set of components for creating distributed, data-sharing applications. It is an integral part of the .NET Framework, providing access to relational data, XML, and application data.
MySQLDirect .NET data provider can be used in the same way as the SQL Server .NET or the OLE DB .NET Data Provider.
Data provider can access MySQL server either using native MySQL network protocol directly or through MySQL client library. It will help you create lightweight and fast applications working with MySQL.
MySQLDirect .NET provides functionality for connecting to MySQL database, executing commands, and retrieving results. Those results can be processed directly, or placed in an ADO.NET DataSet for further processing while in a disconnected state.
While in the DataSet, data can be exposed to the user, combined with other data from multiple sources, or passed remotely between tiers. Any processing performed on the data while in the DataSet can then be reconciled to MySQL database.
MySQLDirect .NET data provider is designed to be lightweight. It consists of a minimal layer between MySQL database and your code. This extends functionality without sacrificing performance.
MySQLDirect .NET supports MySQL server version 5.0, 4.1, 4.0 and 3.23. The provider works with .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and .NET Compact Framework, and can be used with the following development environments:
- Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2005 Beta 1
- Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, 2002
- Microsoft ASP.NET Web Matrix
- Borland Delphi 2005, Delphi 8

MySQLDirect .NET can be used together with UniDirect .NET data provider that provides universal access to different databases within a single code.
