mysqlclient

I'm currently using ODBC to connect to my MySQL database, using C#. I've been told that using the MySql Connector would be better, and faster, and not dependent on Windows. Can someone shed some light on this please? I've been unable to find anything on the net so far

In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
