    Hello,
    New user to discountasp.net.

    Trying to figure out what libraries/drivers are loaded on the Win2008/IIS7 install that I just purchased, or more succinctly, I need to connect to a remote MySQL database and display data via my ASP.NET pages here on discountasp.net.

    I'm very familiar with doing this with MSSQL, but I have never done it with MySQL. I can't move the data into MSSQL - it has to remain in the remote MySQL database.

    I have both ODBC and .NET drivers installed on my dev workstation, and I use Visual Studio 2008 to do all of this work.

    Where should I start?

    We do not have any mySQL database driver installed on our IIS7 server.

    There are many downloadable mySQL drivers which you can simply upload to your bin directory.
