Connecting to a Online MySQL Database using VB.Net

Question

I\'ve searched around and haven\'t been able to find anything along the lines of doing this.

Answer 1

First of all you need to install MySQL connector for .NET.

Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient

Dim myConnection As MySqlConnection = New MySqlConnection()
Dim myConnectionString As String = "Server=SERVERNAME;Database=DATABASE;Uid=root;Pwd=password;"
myConnection.ConnectionString = myConnectionString
myConnection.Open()

//execute queries, etc

myConnection.Close()
