  1. Blake – I love you. I just love you! I was combining 2 projects into a single solution and I just couldn't understand why one project worked with a reference and the other one did not. I stepped back and watched your video again – You nailed it!

    References have to be added for each Project within a Solution.

  2. Hi there! Firtst of all, thanks for the video. Did help out in some way, not all the way though. I do get an authentication error (Authentication to host '127.0.0.1' for user 'sa' using method 'mysql_native_password' failed with message: Access denied for user 'sa'@'localhost' (using password: YES) ) . User and password are correct, no doubt about that. Still, can it be, that you have to configure the way VB encrypts the password or something ? I can connect in Visual Studio (MySQL Connector Plugin) using the same credentials… No idea, stuff gets weird… Can someone help ?

  3. Thanks man! Can you make a video on simple web design? I am studying databases and I need to make a website to use with my database and don't know very much about programming on the front end of things..

  4. When using Visual Studio to compile your executable it creates it in MSIL which can be disassembled using the Microsoft disassembler and whatever code is typed into the section you stated will be shown to the person disassembling your executable. This means that you are telling people to put their username and password for their database into code and anyone can get that information. There should be another method of securely using your username and password for your database. If you are still making videos, and judging by the comments I'm guessing you are not however, if you are still making videos we would very much appreciate a video on how to securely enter your username and password into visual studio to connect to a MYSQL database. This method is not secure.
