MySQL Connector/NET and X DevAPI

MySQL Connector/NET 9.3 supports X Protocol, which enables you to use X DevAPI with the .NET language of choice to develop applications that communicate with a MySQL server functioning as a document store, relational database, or both.

To get started, review the following main classes:

  • MySQLX: Features static methods for creating sessions using the X Protocol.
  • Session: Represents a server session.
  • DbDoc: Represents a generic document.
  • Collection: Represents a collection of documents.
  • Schema: Represents a schema or database.
  • Result: Represents a general statement result.
  • DocResult: Represents the result of an operation that includes a collection of documents.

For an introduction to X DevAPI concepts, see the X DevAPI User Guide. For general information about MySQL Connector/NET, see the MySQL Connector/NET Developer Guide.

MySQL Connector/NET

MySQL Connector/NET 9.3 also supports the development of .NET, .NET Core and .NET Framework applications that require secure, high-performance data connectivity with MySQL through the classic protocol. It supports ADO.NET, Entity Framework and various web providers.

To get started, review the following main classes:

  • MySqlConnection: Represents an open connection to a MySQL database.
  • MySqlConnectionStringBuilder: Aids in the creation of a connection string by exposing the connection options as properties.
  • MySqlCommand: Represents an SQL statement to execute against a MySQL database.
  • MySqlCommandBuilder: Automatically generates single-table commands used to reconcile changes made to a DataSet object with the associated MySQL database.
  • MySqlDataAdapter: Represents a set of data commands and a database connection that are used to fill a data set and update a MySQL database.
  • MySqlDataReader: Provides a means of reading a forward-only stream of rows from a MySQL database.
  • MySqlException: The exception that is thrown when MySQL returns an error.
  • MySqlHelper: Helper class that makes it easier to work with the provider.
  • MySqlTransaction: Represents an SQL transaction to be made in a MySQL database.
  • MySQLMembershipProvider: Manages storage of membership information for an ASP.NET application in a MySQL database.
  • MySQLRoleProvider: Manages storage of role membership information for an ASP.NET application in a MySQL database.
  • MySqlEFConfiguration: Adds the dependency resolvers for MySQL classes.
  • MySqlExecutionStrategy: Enables automatic recovery from transient connection failures.
