I am looking for a host, for my ASP.NET 2.0 website that is created in webdeveloper 2005 express edition.
this is what i have found:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://ipowerweb.com/">http://ipowerweb.com/</a><!-- m -->
Windows Hosting @ $10/month Plan
Apparently it uses MySQL which for the database. (note: I do not want to use Access Database because it cannot support many simultaneous connections) Can I create a MySQL connection string in webdeveloper, so I can access the MySQL database that is stored online, while I am developing the site in Webdeveloper?
I want to know if I can still use WebDeveloper controls to access a MySQL database, and develop without there being problems concerning ability to connect to the database. (I hope this isnt a silly question.) Thanks.
Also, can anyone reccomend a good host for ASP 2.0 pages?
Nick.Hi,
ADO.Net includes the following library for you to connect to your database engine, these are: SQL Server Provider, OLEDB provider, Oracle Provider, and ODBC Provider. MySql support both OLEDB provider and ODBC Provider (I think you may need to Download and install a ODBC connector for MySql first before it understand ODBC potocol)
Bottomline is, regardness you are using .NET2.0 or .NET1.x, it is the same ADO.Net library you are using whenever you try to connect to a database. Just make sure you import the correct library and you are good to go.
Hope that helps.
