"- Easy migration from ODBC and OLE DB .NET Data Providers with Migration Wizard"

After searching the FAQ and the Forums I can find no reference to the above mentioned feature, other than that it exists. Where is it? How do you use it?

I have everything else working (samples, etc). I'm using Visual Basic .NET 2003 with the trial of MySQLDirect .NET. It just sounds like the Migration Wizard would be a great time saver if it works/exists....

Check out Tools --> MySQL --> Migration Wizard menu item in Visual Studio .NET 2003 IDE.

Ahh, thanks, there it is. I'm probably blind, but I couldn't find any reference to this in the FAQ or help file.

Anyways, when I run it, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

NullReferenceException:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
And then after cancelling that, there are multiple errors in my Build Error Task List which all say the following:

Code: Select all

'VarWChar' is not a member of 'CoreLab.MySql.MySqlType'
Perhaps a bug?

I've changed all references to VarWChar to just VarChar and all seems to work fine. Should I expect any ill consequences from this?

We do not see any problem in this. If something does wrong, set Unicode to true in your connection string.
