MySQL database connectivity

Hi,

I have a MySQL database on a remote server that I need to connect to. I
can't seem to figure out what the connectionstring should be? I've searched
through the help files, but all I can find is information for SQL server.

Thanks,

Steve

Check out these page at the MySQL site:
http://www.mysql.com/articles/dotnet/
At present, one can access MySQL using the following 3 interfaces supported
by MySQL.
a.. The ODBC.NET Solution - MyODBC Driver.
b.. Using MySQL Native .NET Providers.
c.. Using the OLEDB.NET Solution - MyOLDDB Provider

connection strings are one thing, but when he dosnt have the ODBC or Ole
drivers for MySQL which are not there until you install them thats another
;)
