One of the best Database Server today besides from Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server is MySQL. MySQL is free and open source database server licensed under GNU General Public License.
Since the purpose of this article is to teach you on how to create a program using Visual Basic .NET and MySQL I will not discuss this topic in detail. Instead you will learn programming with this language and its database as quick as possible.
Required Software
- MySQL Database Server 5.0 or later
- MySQL Connector/NET 5.0 or later
- Toad for MySQL Freeware 3.0.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic 2008

If you want to experiment it yourself you should add a reference from the MySQL Connector/NET. This can be done by clicking the Project menu then Add Reference. After this browse the file at C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Connector Net 5.0.x\Binaries\.NET 2.0. Where x is the version number of MySQL Connector/NET.
