If you have problems running the installer, you can download a
zip file without an installer as an alternative. That file is
called
mysql-connector-net-.
After downloading the zip archive, extract the files to a
location of your choice.
version-noinstall.zip
The file contains the following directories:
bin: Connector/Net MySQL libraries for
different versions of the .NET environment.
Docs: Connector/Net documentation in
CHM format.
Samples: Sample code and applications
that use the Connector/Net component.
Connector/Net 6.0.x has a different directory structure:
Assemblies: A collection of DLLs that
make up the connector functionality.
Documentation: Connector/Net
documentation in CHM format.
Samples: sample code and applications
that use the Connector/Net component.
Another zip file available for download contains the source code
distribution. This file is named
mysql-connector-net-.
version-src.zip
The file contains the following directories:
Documentation: Source files to build
the documentation into the compiled HTML (CHM) format.
Installer: Source files to build the
Connector/Net installer program.
MySql.Data: Source files for the core
data provider.
MySql.VisualStudio: Source files for
the Microsoft Visual Studio extensions.
MySql.Web: Source files for the web
providers. This includes code for the membership provider,
role provider and profile provider. These are used in
ASP.NET web sites.
Samples: Source files for several
example applications.
Tests: A spreadsheet listing test
cases.
VisualStudio: Resources used by the
Visual Studio plugin.
Finally, ensure that MySql.Data.dll is
accessible to your program at build time (and runtime). If using
Microsoft Visual Studio, add MySql.Data as a
Reference to your project.
If using MySQL Connector/Net 6.3.5 and above, the
MySql.Data.dll file provided will work
with both .NET Framework 2.x and 4.x.
