Hello guys
I have worked for several years in VB 6 for desktop application development and in an entirely different environment with PHP and MySQL.
For reasons that are too complicated to list I like to work a new project with VB 6.0 and MySQL.
1. What is your experience? Any comments, suggestions ideas, etc?
humm... I am also very experienced in Visual Basic 6 desktop applications but mostly connecting to Access databases. I have also wondered how to connect to MySQL Databases with VB6 and the only thing I was able to find out is that there is an ODBC connector that you actually install on the machine that lets you connect to MySQL Databases. I was able to do it once but only for local databases. I never got to be able to connect to remote databases.
2. I have searched my usual sources and can't find much info or samples for this combination. Any suggestions for tutorials, books, etc?
I can just give you the address where you can download the ODBC connector, I think that should give you a good start:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/5.1.html
3. I know nothing about .NET would that offer better options for such an experiment?
Thanks a bunch in advnce
