2. Add Reference (MySQL.Data)

Imports MySql.Data;
Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient;

4. Connection String
"Server=Localhost;Database=dbTesting;Uid=root;Pwd=password;"
5.

VB

Private Sub ConnectDataBase()
        Try
            Dim con As MysqlDbConnection
            Dim ConStr As String
            
            ConStr = "Server=Localhost;Database=dbTesting;Uid=root;Pwd=password;"

            con = New MYsqlDbConnection(ConStr)

            con.Open()
        Catch ex As Exception
            Throw ex
