In order to do that you need to have a MySql Server instance running on the server PC - which needs to be on the same LAN as your clients, pretty much. Your client apps then connect to the server via the connection string in the MySqlConnection object you create in your code and the server handles all the DB for you.

Try setting up a connection in VS with the Server Explorer pane:
1) Open Server Explorer.
2) Right click "Data connections" and select "Add connection"
3) In the dialog that follows, select your DataSource, and database, specify the security info, and press the "Test connection" button.
4) When the connection works, press "OK"
5) Highlight your database in the Server Explorer pane, and look at the Properties pane. A working example of the connection string will be shown, which you can copy and paste into your app or config file.
