CREATE TABLE test.

message ( Entry_ID INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, Name VARCHAR(45), Email VARCHAR(45), Message VARCHAR(200), PRIMARY KEY (Entry_ID) ) AUTO_INCREMENT=32 CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci;

1. Create these four MySQL stored procedures in the Test database:

PROCEDURE `test`.`DeleteMessage`(IN param1 INT) BEGIN Delete From test.message WHERE Entry_ID = param1; END

PROCEDURE `test`.`InsertMessage`(IN param1 VARCHAR(50), IN param2 VARCHAR(50), IN param3 VARCHAR(200)) BEGIN INSERT INTO message(Name, Email, Message) VALUES(param1,param2,param3); END
Collapse | Copy Code

PROCEDURE `test`.`ShowAll`() BEGIN SELECT message.Entry_ID, message.Name, message.Email, message.Message FROM test.message; END
Collapse | Copy Code

PROCEDURE `test`.`UpdateMessage`(IN paramkey INT, IN param1 VARCHAR(50), IN param2 VARCHAR(50), IN param3 VARCHAR(200)) BEGIN UPDATE message SET Name = param1, Email = param2, Message = param3 WHERE (message.Entry_ID = paramkey); END

2. Unzip "MySQL" and configure IIS to point to it. Make sure you configure the web server to use ASP.NET 2.0.

3. Open "web.config" and change the line:

<add name="MySQLConnectionString" connectionString="server=localhost; user id=myuser; password=mypass; database=test; pooling=false;" providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"/>

to connect to your MySQL database. 4. Browse to the default.aspx page through IIS. This is the class that uses Generics to supply the data that is consumed by the ObjectDataSource control:

using using using using using using

System; System.Collections.Generic; System.Data; MySql.Data.MySqlClient; System.Configuration; System.ComponentModel;

[DataObject(true)] public static class MessagesDB { private static string GetConnectionString() { return ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings ["MySQLConnectionString"].ConnectionString; } [DataObjectMethod(DataObjectMethodType.Select)] public static List<MessageItem> GetMessages() { MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand("ShowAll", new MySqlConnection(GetConnectionString())); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; cmd.Connection.Open(); MySqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection); List<MessageItem> MessageItemlist = new List<MessageItem>(); while (dr.Read()) { MessageItem MessageItem = new MessageItem(); MessageItem.Entry_ID = Convert.ToInt32(dr["Entry_ID"]); MessageItem.Message = Convert.ToString(dr["Message"]); MessageItem.Name = Convert.ToString(dr["Name"]); MessageItem.Email = Convert.ToString(dr["Email"]); MessageItemlist.Add(MessageItem); } dr.Close(); return MessageItemlist; } [DataObjectMethod(DataObjectMethodType.Insert)] public static void InsertMessage(MessageItem MessageItem) {

MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand("InsertMessage", new MySqlConnection(GetConnectionString())); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; cmd.Parameters.Add(new MySqlParameter("param1", MessageItem.Name)); cmd.Parameters.Add(new MySqlParameter("param2", MessageItem.Email)); cmd.Parameters.Add(new MySqlParameter("param3", MessageItem.Message)); cmd.Connection.Open(); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); cmd.Connection.Close(); } [DataObjectMethod(DataObjectMethodType.Update)] public static int UpdateMessage(MessageItem MessageItem) { MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand("UpdateMessage", new MySqlConnection(GetConnectionString())); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; cmd.Parameters.Add(new MySqlParameter("paramkey", MessageItem.Entry_ID)); cmd.Parameters.Add(new MySqlParameter("param1", MessageItem.Name)); cmd.Parameters.Add(new MySqlParameter("param2", MessageItem.Email)); cmd.Parameters.Add(new MySqlParameter("param3", MessageItem.Message)); cmd.Connection.Open(); int i = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); cmd.Connection.Close(); return i; } [DataObjectMethod(DataObjectMethodType.Delete)] public static int DeleteMessage(MessageItem MessageItem) { MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand("DeleteMessage", new MySqlConnection(GetConnectionString())); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; cmd.Parameters.Add(new MySqlParameter("param1", MessageItem.Entry_ID)); cmd.Connection.Open(); int i = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); cmd.Connection.Close(); return i; }

The class above uses the class "MessageItem" to pass the parameters to and from the ObjectDataSourcecontrol:

using System; public class MessageItem { int _Entry_ID; string _Message; string _Name; string _Email; public MessageItem() { } public int Entry_ID { get {

return _Entry_ID; } set { _Entry_ID = value; } } public string Message { get { return _Message; } set { _Message = value; } } public string Name { get { return _Name; } set { _Name = value; } } public string Email { get { return _Email; } set { _Email = value; } } }

This is the .aspx file that contains the ObjectDataSource control as well as a GridView for editing data and aDetailsView for inserting a record:
