I'm using the .NET Connector version 2, because i got a strange "read_only" error in version 1. So i added the new dll to my directory and hoped that the old code will work now. But a new error occured. I hope you can help me. Here's the code: private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { string x="'"+tb2.Text+"%'"; string bla = "SELECT * from name where Name like "+x; string cs = "SERVER = localhost; DATABASE = gerrit; UID = root; PASSWORD=vikings;"; MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection con = new MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection(cs); MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand test = new MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand(bla,con); con.Open(); MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataReader read = test.ExecuteReader(); // here is the error while(read.Read()) { string Name = (string) read["Name"]; tb.Text = tb.Text + " " +Name+ "\n"; } read.Close(); read=null; con.Dispose(); con.Close(); con=null; } The error is following: #HY000Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation 'like' Zeile 60: MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand test = new MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand(bla,con); Zeile 61: con.Open(); Zeile 62: MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataReader read = test.ExecuteReader(); // here is the error Zeile 63: while(read.Read()) Zeile 64: { I really hope you can help me! Thank you very much. Greetings from Austria Gerrit ------------------------------------------- Versendet durch AonWebmail (webmail.aon.at)
