    Access MySQL with VB .NET?

    Is it possible to use MySQL databases with VB .NET?

    I downloaded a driver called MyODBC, but for now im stuck using Visual Basic 5.0 to do my database app, cause I wasnt able to get VB .NET to work with it succesfuly.

    Are you using the ADO.NET OleDb* objects? Ususally those will connect to any ODBC compliant database.

    You need to download the ODBC .NET Data Provider. You can find it at msdn.microsoft.com somewhere.

    After you download and install that, you will have to use the classes in the Microsoft.Data.Odbc namespace instead of the ones in the System.Data.OleDb namespace.
