ASP.NET to access a mySQL database from MMF2?

[RGBreality]

Hey, folks!

I know this is a bit outside of MMF2 relevance, but I was wondering if anyone has written (or has access to) ASP.NET code which allows MMF2 to read from and write to a database?

I am still working on an online high-score system for this game I'm working on... I have installed mySQL Server without any difficulties and set up a database, table, and user account to access that table.

What I lack now (in more ways than one!) is the ASP.NET code in which MMF2 would interface to read from and write to this mySQL database. I have been looking online for ASPX template code, but it all pertains to viewing a table from within a Web browser.

So, despite it being a big stretch, I thought I'd inquire if anyone has had any experience with ASP.NET which would suit my needs.

Thank you very much!



Most graciously...

What you're after is a page that will perform a query against the database (possibly taking into account variables passed into that page) and that outputs the result in a form that MMF2 can understand.

I don't have experience with ASP, but much the same theory applies as in my PHP/mySQL tutorial. I see from the page here that its code looks rather more horrific than PHP, but it shows details on how to get to the database - http://www.aspdev.org/asp.net/asp.net-mysql-connect/

Rather than displaying the whole data set, you just want to output one item from it - I think that this... rather unusual site might point you in the right direction: http://www.christianasp.net/usingmysql50withaspnet-part1.aspx
