SQL Backup from vb.net code

[සශික]

I use below code to backup mySQL database. I want to save sql database by save file dialog.
I use this,

Sub CreateBackupc()
        Dim mysqldumpPath As String = "C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqldump.exe"
         Dim host As String = "localhost"
        Dim user As String = "root"
        Dim pswd As String = "mysql"
        Dim dbnm As String = "mcs"
        Dim cmd As String = String.Format("-h{0} -u{1} -p{2} {3}", host, user, pswd, dbnm)
        SaveFileDialog1.Filter = "SQL Files (*.sql*)|*.sql"
        If SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK _
        Then
            My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText _
            (SaveFileDialog1.FileName, "mcs.sql", True)

            Dim startInfo As System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo = New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo()
            startInfo.FileName = mysqldumpPath
            startInfo.Arguments = cmd
            startInfo.RedirectStandardError = True
            startInfo.RedirectStandardInput = False
            startInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
            startInfo.UseShellExecute = False
            startInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
            startInfo.ErrorDialog = False
            Dim proc As System.Diagnostics.Process = New System.Diagnostics.Process()
            proc.StartInfo = startInfo
            AddHandler proc.OutputDataReceived, AddressOf OnDataReceivedc
            proc.Start()
            proc.BeginOutputReadLine()
            proc.WaitForExit()
            OutputStreamc.Flush()
            OutputStreamc.Close()
            proc.Close()
        End If
    End Sub

but it save richbox text to sql type file

To backup data you must have to execute a process to run mysqldump.exe file, which resides in C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.?\bin\ folder.

The syntax is mysqldump --host=[HOSTNAME] --user=[USER] --password=[PASSWORD] -R [DATABASE NAME] > [PATH TO BACKUP FILE].

To restore data you must have to execute a process to run mysql.exe file.
The syntax is mysql --host=[HOSTNAME] --user=[USER] --password=[PASSWORD] [DATABASE NAME] < [PATH TO BACKUP FILE].

I don't want to restore backup file from this code.
I want to save backup file using save file dialog

[Santanu.Das]

I just write the syntax to back-up and restore .
But use is yours choice.
To back-up mysql database you have to run mysqldump.exe file
