Baseret på min viden, nej.
Ja, MySQL har deres egen .NET Connector.
Her er linket til MySQL Connector-dokumentationen. .
Derinde fandt jeg dette eksempel:
Imports System.Data
Imports MySql.Data
Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient
Public Class Tutorial1
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim connStr As String = "server=localhost;user=root;database=world;port=3306;password=******;"
Dim conn As New MySqlConnection(connStr)
Try
Console.WriteLine("Connecting to MySQL...")
conn.Open()
Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString())
End Try
conn.Close()
Console.WriteLine("Done.")
End Sub
End Class
