how do I return the results of show slave status in mysqldatareader? (1 reply)

Hi there,

I am trying to return the results of show slave status in a result reader but the reader doesn't get initialized, i tried something like this

// pseudo code
MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand("show slave status", connection);
MySqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)

if (reader.read()) // here reader is null reference...
{
/// ....
}

thank you,
Ovi
