Exception when using MySqlBackup.NET to export database
I used the following code to back up MYSQL database.
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string file = "D:\\backup.sql";
//string conn = "server=localhost;user=root;pwd=qwerty;database=test;";
String str = @"server=192.168.1.219;database=abc;userid=sha;password='123';";
MySqlBackup mb = new MySqlBackup(str);
mb.ExportInfo.FileName = file;
mb.Export();
}
my stack trace is as follows -
A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in MySqlBackup.dll
System.Transactions Critical: 0 : <TraceRecord xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2004/10/E2ETraceEvent/TraceRecord" Severity="Critical"><TraceIdentifier>http://msdn.microsoft.com/TraceCodes/System/ActivityTracing/2004/07/Reliability/Exception/Unhandled</TraceIdentifier><Description>Unhandled exception</Description><AppDomain>TestAppMysqlDBConnect.vshost.exe</AppDomain><Exception><ExceptionType>System.NullReferenceException, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089</ExceptionType><Message>Object reference not set to an instance of an object.</Message><StackTrace> at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlBackup.ExportExecute()

..
But there is an exception and says there is a null reference exception. when i am passing data to database through c # program. it was inserted successfully, there were no exceptions. this exception only happens when I try to backup the database using a C # program. I used 2 Dll files that were in the link above. this is MySql.Data.dll MySqlBackup.dll
I am unable to resolve this exception. Please, help.

Try using this function (don't forget you need to add MySqlBackup.dll to your project link):
public void Backup()
{
try
{
// Backup...
DateTime Time = DateTime.Now;
year = Time.Year;
month = Time.Month;
day = Time.Day;
hour = Time.Hour;
minute = Time.Minute;
second = Time.Second;
millisecond = Time.Millisecond;
//Save file to Path with the current date as a filename
string path;
path = txb_Path.Text + year + "-" + month + "-" + day + "--" + hour + "-" + minute + "-" + second + ".sql";
string file = path;
using (MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection(connectionString))
{
using (MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand())
{
using (MySqlBackup mb = new MySqlBackup(cmd))
{
cmd.Connection = conn;
conn.Open();
mb.ExportToFile(file);
conn.Close();
}
}
}
//Done----
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error , unable to backup!" + ex.Message);
}
}
