nonono.... I think he mens that there is a dataprivider available for asp.net 2 from mysql.  I downloaded it a few months ago but I've only just got into dotnetnuke so it'll probably be a while before I can feed anything into the discussion.

To get the provider (its a membership and roles provider too) go to mysql.org, select downloads and select connectors>connector/net

I think that should sort you out but I'm not sure as to whether you'd have to rewrite elements of dotnetnuke to support it since the sql syntax differs.  That's where I lack the experience.

o_kerux - thanks for trying to help.

The provider is a component that sits between DNN and MySQL (although you are correct that a provider for the ASP/Membership component is available).  Its job is to sit in between DNN and whatever back-end data store you're using; that way you can change the data store to any kind of database you like without changing the main code of DotNetNuke.

What you have on MySQL.org is basically a driver for .Net so that you can talk to MySQL - nothing more.  There is a MySQL Membership / Role provider available which would uses the connector which seems to work well.
