Answer 1

Use Connection string like this

<add name="MYSQLConnectionString" connectionString="Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};database=DB;option=0;pwd=pwd;port=3306;server=yourserver;uid=user;sslverify=0"
   providerName="System.Data.Odbc" />

First Install the ODBC driver for MYSQl

here is download link

Update
use data grid and make connection to DB and in data grid use this code

 <asp:TemplateColumn  HeaderText="Image">
         <ItemTemplate >
            <img runat="server" 
                 src='<%# "getImage.aspx?ID=" + DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, 
                 "ImageIdentity")  %>' ID="Img1"/>
         </ItemTemplate>
     </asp:TemplateColumn>

verify your image field name
