You can use ODBC, but the fastest way would be to use the ADOSQL methods.
They live in the System.Data.SqlClient namespace.

Not sure how fast you want to go, but these guys (www.crlab.com) do a nice
MySQL provider for .NET. If you want to go really fast, you can always
PInvoke the MySQL client library - libmysql.dll.
