I hope this is the right place to suggest updates to the homepage.
Hi, Erik. Sure.
Below I suggest a new example using the MySQL connector (borrowed from MySQL.com):
Thanks for volunteering to update that page. I think it would be good to create a new example, rather than lifting one right from MySQL.com. One thing you might put in a new example is a try/finally block for good measure (to make sure the reader and connection get closed in the event of an exception in the loop).
Let me know if I should provide this in another format, e.g. with markup or as a patch to a source file I can access somewhere.
The website is a wiki, so if you think you'll want to improve more documentation in the future (which would be great), you could ask (Miguel?) for an account to edit pages.
Just as important as the example, however, is the format of the connection string. All of the things that can go into the connection string should be documented too. In the MySQL Connector sources, in the ConnectionString.cs file, there are names and descriptions of everything (except it's not the property names but the names in, e.g., GetString() that go in the connection string).
