EXPORT Mysql Base

@MAcKZloy wants a .sql dump from C# and already has Connector/NET available; @RamyMahrous suggested SSIS, but SSIS is for ETL and not needed if the goal is just a SQL dump file. Two practical, reliable approaches from C#:

Use a .NET library that streams a dump (easy, avoids shell calls). The MySqlBackup.NET project wraps MySql.Data and can export directly to a .sql file with a few lines:

using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;
using MySqlBackup;

string connStr = "server=localhost;uid=user;pwd=pass;database=dbname;";
using (var conn = new MySqlConnection(connStr))
{
    conn.Open();
    using (var cmd = new MySqlCommand())
    {
        cmd.Connection = conn;
        using (var mb = new MySqlBackup(cmd))
        {
            mb.ExportToFile(@"C:\backups\dbname.sql");
        }
    }
}

See the project for install details: MySqlBackup.NET GitHub.

Call the mysqldump executable from C# if you prefer the native tool (use ProcessStartInfo). That gives you full mysqldump options (transactional dumps for InnoDB, routines, triggers, etc.). Be careful not to expose passwords on the command line and ensure the mysqldump binary and output path are correct. Read the mysqldump reference for flags like single-transaction and routines: mysqldump reference. For launching external programs from .NET, see ProcessStartInfo docs: ProcessStartInfo (Microsoft).

Troubleshooting tips: test with a small DB first; stream to file to avoid memory pressure; verify file permissions; and match client/ server versions if using mysqldump.
