.NET Async/Await for ODBC
I've been looking into tuts about how to implement Async/Await. I already used it to read text files and process long loops and yeah it improved the responsiveness of my application.
What I'm looking for right now is how to use it in connecting to and getting data from a database.
I'm currently using ODBC to interact with MySQL. According to some tuts, functions like ExecuteNonQueryAsync is only available to SQLClient. If I'm not mistaken, I can't use SQLClient to interact with MySQL. Also tried using MySqlClient, I got nothing.
Did I miss anything or should I start thinking of another way? I'm open to other means.
Thanks in advance!

I don't think there are async versions available yet (I.e. nobody has yet spent the time to write them).

I was afraid someone's gonna comment that. Thanks! Just had to confirm it.

Did you try MySQL's own Connector/Net? The docs list a full set of asynchronous methods. The only problem is that it fakes asynchronous execution by running the command on a background thread. MySQLConnector is a very popular alternative, with 1.5M downloads

@PanagiotisKanavos I already got it running by using the usual BackgroundWorker style that I use. Thanks for the tip though. I'll look into that and see what else I can get.

@Coffeecat BGW is obsolete, fully replaced by Task.Run andasync/awaitsince 2012. It's particularly unsuitable for data access where you typically need to perform multiple asynchronous actions one after the other
