Database connection in PRADO

Prado connects to the database in the .NET ways, so you can use either application configuration file as described at
http://www.pradosoft.com/demos/blog-tutorial/?page=Day2.ConnectDB
or establish connection using the http://www.pradosoft.com/docs/classdoc/TDbConnection class.

To connect to the MySQL database, the mysql pdo extension should be enabled. The connection string is the PDO connection string.
You can find a few examples here: http://php.net/pdo.

I think that learning .NET to use PRADO is not necessary, but of course it will help you in understanding the basic concepts. So I do not think the learning details of .NET DataGrid will help much with Prado, but general articles about ViewState management and page processing states are undoubtedly useful.

Sincerely,
Alex
