This is what I think would be a pretty basic question, but as I look online and in these forums (as well as in the documentation) I can't find ANY references to it. The question:
With Infragistics v8.1, can the schedule be bound to a MySQL database? I used the demo to create a MySQL database based on the Create SQL Tables in the demo software, so the Tables are created, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to bind the table to the schedule. I am desperate to use the scheduling software but absolutely can not figure out how to get it to work with my MySQL database.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Question - Does ANY actual documentation, other than the couple of code samples, exist for WinSchedule? I'm floundering with this control trying desperately to make it work and I don't know if I'll actually be able to use it because the only thing I can do at this point is trial and error.
Ok, I got it bound using a MySQLConnectionBindingSource. Now I just have to figure out how to direct it to the correct table. :)
It can be bound to any database for which there exists a .NET data provider/adapter. The WinSchedule data binding layer communicates with the .NET BindingManager, so it actually has no direct awareness of the database, it communicates with it through this opaque layer.
Thank you for the reply, Brian. Yes, that demo is the demo that I used to create the tables, but in terms of binding the schedule to a database, the two options seem to be MS SQLServer and Access database. The database my company uses is a MySQL database and I need to know if the WinSchedule can be bound to it.
Sorry, I'm not familiar with 'MySQL', but WinSchedule does support binding to an MS SQLServer database table. There is a sample included with the SDK, 'WinSchedule Database Demo', which demonstrates how.
