Database connectivity best practices

Hi, all.

I'm currently a developing a smart client application in C# that
interfaces with a MySQL database. Does anyone know of a good about
best practices to use when developing data-driven applications in C#?
For example, right now, I start a connection to the server when a user
logs in to the client, (the connection object is placed in singleton
object) and have any query fired throughout the program use that
connection stream. Is that the right way to do it? or should I have
each query do a connect/select/disconnect by itself?

Thanks,
