My add a database + is not available.
I set up a site, document type and testing server with every combination I can think of. And I reinstalled dreamweaver numerous times?
Any suggestion?

Answer 1

I know this is possible, I have used mssql and oracle with php using pdo.
But to use the MySQL db with asp.net &  DW you require the driver to do so.
Have you installed the ODBC driver for MySQL?

Here is example code to connect:
must declare the namespace:
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient; // Add the MySql.Data.dll in the bin folder of the wwwroot folder
conn = new MySqlConnection("server=localhost;user id=root; password=root; database=test;persist security info=True");
        string strSql = "Select id ,name from abc";
        MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(strSql, conn);
        conn.Open();
