How to take back up of my sql database using C#

You can also download running code.

Taking a back up of my sql using C# is very easy but this also be termed as tricky backup. Like Sql server my sql does not provide built in stored procedures to take back up. For back up my sql use a Exe file named “mysqldump.exe”

You will find this Exe file in “C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin” folder of mySql.

This file takes so many parameters for different options. But my task is to simply take a backup of single database
