    C++ connection to MySQL

    I have been searching the net for a way to connect to a MySQL database from a C++ program i am writing using Win32 MFC. Im using VS.net. Has anyone ever done this before? I don't want to use a DSN, i would like it to be a DNSless connection.
    If you know of some exaples somewhere can you post them here?

    Thanks

    Go to MSDN and look for the System.Data.* namespaces. There are three different ones for SQL (System.Data.SQLCLient, etc..), and some others for Oracle, etc... These will give you the function to communicate with a database from your program.

    Yes, you could use MySQL++, the download URL is:
    http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/other...lus/index.html

    There is a pre-compiled version for Visual C++ contributed by LazyFox. It is for version 1.7.1.

    I can't find any description documentation on how to install it. Even the ReadMe doesn't explain the installation process very well.

    Could anyone please help me out? I googled it already and I keep ending up at message boards with unanswered questions like mine.

    BuezaWebDev, please do not post in threads that have been inactive for long periods of time - it causes confusion and prevents active threads from getting their fair share of attention. Instead, start a new thread, and if necessary (I wouldn't have said it would be in this case), you may want to link to a previous thread.
