I have already installed the connector but now how do i access the connector
in Visaul Studio.NET. What is the reference I need to add to my solution so
that I can use the classes in MySQL.Data.MySQLClient namespace? Pls Explain?

Saket,

I know there is the connection to MySQL, however I become confused when I
see so many messages in this dotnet newsgroups about using MySQL, that I am
not sure if it is well to give you a general answer for accessing data using
ADONET and MySQL. (I am not using MySQL)

Probably it is better when you ask this question in the newsgroup.

Adonet
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet

Web interface:
http://communities2.microsoft.com/c.../?dg=microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet

You can as well search in that newsgroup there is a lot of MySql.

I hope this helps something?
