Hi there,
We're evaluating LightSpeed, and are trying to figure out how to use it with the version of MySql data provider (5.2.3.0) we received from Sun, and use elsewhere in our system (where LINQ we're not using LINQ). For now, we've had to back out 5.2.3.0 to use the 5.1.4.0 version that comes with LightSpeed; but being locked in is not desirable. Thanks

Hi Gary, The bad news is that at present it's a bit fiddly to use a version of a driver other than the one that LightSpeed expects. What we'd suggest is using a binding redirect (either globally or in your app.config file). This tells .NET to load 5.2.3 whenever it gets a request for 5.1.4, i.e. LightSpeed still asks for 5.1.4 but .NET will map that to 5.2.3. The good news is that since we shipped 2.2, we have switched to 5.2.5 as the "native" MySQL version for LightSpeed. So if you download the current nightly build from https://www.mindscape.co.nz/products/lightspeed/nightlybuilds.aspx, and upgrade the version you received from Sun from 5.2.3 to 5.2.5, all should be well. (If however you really need to stick with 5.2.3 then the binding redirect approach should still work.) Please let us know if you need any more info on this, or if there's anything more we can do to help with your evaluation. |
