25.2.1. Connector/NET Versions

There are currently two versions of Connector/NET available:

  • Connector/NET 1.0 includes support for MySQL 4.0, and MySQL 5.0 features, and full compatibility with the ADO.NET driver interface.

    Connector/NET 5.0 includes support for MySQL 4.0, MySQL 4.1, MySQL 5.0 and MySQL 5.1 features. Connector/NET 5.0 also includes full support for the ADO.Net 2.0 interfaces and subclasses, includes support for the usage advisor and performance monitor (PerfMon) hooks.

Note

Version numbers for MySQL products are formatted as X.X.X. However, Windows tools (Control Panel, properties display) may show the version numbers as XX.XX.XX. For example, the official MySQL formatted version number 5.0.9 may be displayed by Windows tools as 5.00.09. The two versions are the same; only the number display format is different.
