I have tried everything I know how to do -- to connect to an existing mariadb database with
visual basic 2010 express. Can anyone give me any ideas on how to get a proper start. I am
trying to connect to the localdb server created by heidi, which is a tcp/ip . Microsoft SQL server is
installed.
Answer
In this case, you'd just need to write the ADO.NET "per hand" (no wizard support in VB Express). Just use Connector/NET and write the same code, as if database was MySQL.
