ASP.NET & MySQL

[Toni]

I want to use asp.net & mysql. I am trying to download mysql db and tools
from www.mysql.com but i can find everything what I need. Can somebody tell
me where I can download DB, Tools, OleDB provider and everything what I need
for use mysql & asp.net 2.0?

BTW, what is better, use MySQLConnection, MySQLDataAdapter, MySQLDataset
etc... or OleDB objects (install oledb provider for mysql)?

There is absolutely no need to use OleDb to connect to MySql:

The links for the providers are on this page. It is the first thing I would
look at:

Especially the line:
"MySQL currently doesn't officially support MyOLEDB, so this solution will
not be discussed here."
