I have MySQL database server configured on my Linux OS (Fedora Core 10), which was installed using VM Ware. How can I link my C# application running on Visual Studio( Windows) to my database on Linux? Most especially when setting up connection, what will be the source of my database since it is on a "network"?

Thanks

Solution 1

Use the IP address of the Linux VM instance as the Server/Host/DataSource depending on the connection string[^] you are using.

SqlConnection datacon = new SqlConnection ("Server = 192.168.0.129; Database = " + firstTry +"; Uid = "+ Admin +"; Pwd = "+ consult2me +";");

SqlConnection is only used for SQL Server connections NOT MySql for MySql connections refer to the link I provided.

Remember to change the MySQL configuration to allow network connections and open port 3306 in the Fedora firewall.
