ConnectorNet Support for Windows Storę

Starting with 6.7, Connector/Net fully supports building Windows Storę apps. Windows Storę are based

on .NET but use a very restrictive subset of that functionality. The main difference is the complete lack

of the ADO.Net data subsystem. Below is a list of the differences between Connector/Net 6.7 and

Connector/Net RT 6.7. Please notę that we are looking at ways of bringing these functionalities back in futurę versions.

•    No support for MySqlDataAdapter. MySqlCommand and MySqlDataReader are supported.

•    Connector/Net RT does not support SSL connections or Windows authentication. Also, SHA256 is

not currectly supported.

•    Connector/Net RT only supports TCP connections. Named pipę and shared memory connections are

not supported.

•    Connector/Net RT doesn't support tracing.

This version of Connector/Net is no longer supported.

•    Connector/Net RT doesn't support load balancing. Command and Exception interceptors are

supported however.

This version of Connector/Net is no longer supported.

•    MySqlConnection.GetSchema methods do not return DataTable types. Instead they return a new

object called MySqlSchemaCollection. You can query this objectfor the schema information.

Normal Connector/Net will include support for returning schema information in both DataTable and

MySqlSchemaCollection format.

This version of Connector/Net is no longer supported.

•    Some contructors and other apis on supported classes may have been removed or altered. Any API

that used DataTable, DataSet, or DataRow has been altered or removed.

This version of Connector/Net is no longer supported.

Using Connector/Net RT is easy. Simply create a Windows Storę application using Visual Studio and

then reference the MySql.Data.RT.dll assembly in your project. The codę you write should be exactly

the same as for normal Connector/Net (including using same namespace

MySql. Data. MySqlClient)

except for the differences listed above.
