I'm inserting data into MySQL database with mysqlbulkloader. it works but the problem is it inserts into the identity column which is auto incremented. Is there anyway I can map the columns or skip the identity column.
Thank you

What I have tried:

Using con1 As New MySqlConnection(constr)
Dim bl As New MySqlBulkLoader(con1)
bl.TableName = "tblquestions"
bl.FieldTerminator = (",")
bl.LineTerminator = "\r\n"
bl.FileName = path
bl.NumberOfLinesToSkip = 1
bl.Load()
End Using

I dont know what it looks like from a VB.Net perspective, but in c# I would do :-

Columns = { "Field1", "Field2", "Field3" }

as in

C#

using (var conn = new MySqlConnection(connectionString))
{
    var bl = new MySqlBulkLoader(conn)
    {
        TableName = "tblquestions",
        Timeout = 600,
        FieldTerminator = ",",
        LineTerminator = "\r\n",
        FileName = path,
        NumberOfLinesToSkip = 1,
        Columns = { "Field1", "Field2", "Field3" }
    };
    var numberOfInsertedRows = bl.Load();
}
