Basic API

MySqlConnector aims to be fully ADO.NET-compatible; its API should feel almost identical to other .NET database drivers. Here’s a basic code snippet to get you started.

var connString = "Server=myserver;User ID=mylogin;Password=mypass;Database=mydatabase";

using (var conn = new MySqlConnection(connString))
{
    await conn.OpenAsync();

    // Insert some data
    using (var cmd = new MySqlCommand())
    {
        cmd.Connection = conn;
        cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO data (some_field) VALUES (@p)";
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("p", "Hello world");
        await cmd.ExecuteNonQueryAsync();
    }

    // Retrieve all rows
    using (var cmd = new MySqlCommand("SELECT some_field FROM data", conn))
    using (var reader = await cmd.ExecuteReaderAsync())
        while (await reader.ReadAsync())
            Console.WriteLine(reader.GetString(0));
}

You can find more info about the ADO.NET API in the MSDN documentation or in many tutorials on the Internet.
