You can easily do it through an ODBC driver
or I've seen there's an ole db driver (not sure if it's compatible with .NET)
Maybe you should better check the mysql site for it or you can contact them to ask if they're developing a driver for .NET

I'm not really sure what an ODBC driver is, but my MySQL monitor say that it "cannot be found"Quote:

You can download it from MySQL web site
http://www.mysql.com/products/myodbc/index.html
But you also need the ODBC framework for .NET otherwise you can't use it. I'm not sure where to get that from though.
Nevermind, I found that too...

Click and download "ODBC .NET Data Provider"
Wow I didn't realize you needed to download special drivers to connect to a MySQL database with VB... I always thought VB had that included since MySQL is such an important part in today's internet
after trying all this - it seems VB.NET Standard only supports MSDE/Sql Express and MS Access DB's.
Any info on connecting to MySQL would be appreciated - if it is possible.
