Question Portable MySQL Application?

[stuntguy3000]

Hello.
I would like to know how and if i can make a portable MySQL Application... What i mean by this is anyone on any Windows computer can use it and not need to install the MySQL Connector... Is their any way i can include the .dll connector into the app or have it along side it in the application folder?

Thanks

There sure is. Just like any reference, you can select the MySql.Data reference and set its Copy Local property to True. The DLL will then be copied to the output folder along with your EXE when you build and you just deploy both.
