Take a look at this:

I've never dealt with this personally, but know someone who spoke well of it.

I believe this still works with .net

You would use the OleDbConnection and OleDbCommand objects. There are plenty of examples of using these objects in MSDN.

RayRay,

To connect to a MySQL database using VB.Net, you first need to install ODBC.Net Drivers and some framework components and patches. You may wish to goto:

This article tells you the downloads needed. As for getting the MySQL direct from crlabs as recommended by Tibaal89, it is only a trialware with limited functions and is not a standardised way of accessing a MySQL database.

Hope that helps.

Yes, that seems like a much better solution. *reads article* :cool:
