Need Solution for,

I need to migra

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure there is a provider for it (same as for SqlLite).

Take a look at the following links:

• http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/linqprojectgeneral/thread/e9fc6bc7-fbc6-44c4-b37b-4b4a83beaa3e

• http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/

DBLinq should have everything you need though...

Answer 2

LINQ to SQL is designed to work with Microsoft SQL Server only, as far as I know. If possible, you should migrate to Entity Framework or another DB-agnostic O/R-mapper.

Answer 3

Check out 'LINQ to MySql' nuget.

https://www.nuget.org/packages/linq2db.MySql/

LINQ to MySql is a data access technology that provides a run-time infrastructure for managing relational data as objects.

This package includes a T4 template to generate data models for MySql database and references to the linq2db and MySql.Data nugets.
