Visual Studio setup with MYSQL

Hi all.

Noob here but hopefully not for long.

Trying to get the source up and running in Visual Studio 2012 using MYSql database.

The help I have found seems to be tailored to the live environment and I am getting nowhere fast ;-)
Have tried searching but not found anything that helps tbh.

It still attempts to connect to MS SQL instead of MY SQL so there must be some setting I have missed or some other school boy error.

Thanks in advance for any help...

Looking to move over to Mojo Portal from Umbraco.

Re: Visual Studio setup with MYSQL

Hi,

You just need to select the correct build profile for either Debug - MySql or Release - MySql, as shown in this article, then just rebuild the solution and set your mysql connection string.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Visual Studio setup with MYSQL

I said I was a noob lol

That was indeed the problem however that has led me onto another error:

Could not load file or assembly 'MySql.Data, Version=6.2.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

The .dll's appear to be there unless the are in the wrong directory.

Sorry for such basic questions. Have been baked in the sun today so that is my excuse ;-(
