Install MySQL.Data

Using the Nuget Package Manager install the following:

  • MySql.Data;
  • MySql.Data.MySqlClient;

Creating the connection

Now using the page you want to connect, open the Model `cs` code.

At the top add the following 

using MySql.Data;
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;


You need to have a local webserver running with an installation of MySQL & PHP. I have used the USBWebServer from your SQL lessons. I have also created this connection string. The string below includes the name of the database, mine is just called `test`. The string should be inside the subclass of `PageModel`: 

string connection = "server=localhost;user=root;database=test;port=3306;password=usbw;";

Finally I created this method to get the connection, it should be inside the subclass of `PageModel`: 

        public MySqlConnection GetConnection 
        {
            get
            {
                return new MySqlConnection(connection);
            }
        }

Using the Connection

Now, in the OnGet method I have added the following code, which will create, open, and close the database connection: 

public void OnGet()
{
    using var connection = GetConnection; // this gets the connection

    connection.Open(); // you must open the connection
            
    connection.Close();
}
