Solution 2

Use MySql Connector/Net[^] and work you way :-)

See this guide from MySql - http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/connector-net-programming.html[^]

Solution 3

You need to get a copy of the .Net connector for MySQL here[^]. This connector is a standard ADO.Net component and so if you have used Sql Server then you should be fine.

Hope this helps
