MySQL provides connectivity for client applications developed in .NET compatible programming languages with Connector/NET.

MySQL Connector/NET is a library compatible with .NET Framework and .NET Core, for specific versions seeMySQL Connector/NET Versions. The driver is a pure C# implementation of the MySQL protocol and does not rely on the MySQL client library.

From MySQL Connector/NET 8.0, the driver also contains an implementation ofMySQL X DevAPI, an Application Programming Interface for working withMySQL as a Document Store through CRUD-based, NoSQL operations.

From MySQL Connector/NET 8.1, the driver contains an implementation ofOpenTelemetry which requires the use of theMySql.Data.OpenTelemetry Nuget package to enable the generation of telemetry data.

From MySQL Connector/NET 8.2, the driver adds support forWebAuthn authentication, the driver also adds support for.NET 8.

For detailed information please visit the officialMySQL Connector/NET documentation.

Please refer to filesREADME andLICENSE, available in this repository, andLegal Notices in documentation for further details.

MySQL Connector/NET can be installed from precompiled libraries by using MySQL installer or download the libraries itself, both can be found atConnector/NET download page. Also, you can get the latest stable release from theofficial Nuget.org feed.

• By using MySQL Installer, you just need to follow the wizard in order to obtain the precompiled library and then add it to your project.
• If you decided to download the precompiled libraries, decompress the folder and then add the library needed to your project as reference.
• If you go for NuGet, you could use the NuGet Package Manager inside Visual Studio or use the NuGet Command Line Interface (CLI).

This driver can also be complied and installed from the sources available in this repository. Please refer to the documentation fordetailed instructions on how to do it.
