Backing up Database in MySQL using C#

Question

I created a Winforms in order to backup my Database. Then When I run my program it gives an Win32Exception was unhandled. \"The system cannot find the file specified\" Altho

Answer 1

I believe you have to mention the user, pwd, db name and the target path..

string path = @"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqldump.exe -u " + txtBoxDBUsername.Text + @" -p " + txtBoxDBName.Text + @" > " + txtBoxDBName.Text + @".sql"; 

backup: # mysqldump -u root -p[root_password] [database_name] > dumpfilename.sql

restore:# mysql -u root -p[root_password] [database_name] < dumpfilename.sql
