How do I connect to a MySQL database with Microsoft VB.NET?

Hi There,



I have created numerous applications linking SQL Server 2003 to Visual Studio.NET successfully and now I am creating a new one that requires use of MySQL. I am continuously getting the error that the database does not exist.



Please can someone assist me with some sample code or link to where I can get answers.
