If you want to use MySQL, you’ll need to get a .Net Data Provider for MySQL or a MySQL ODBC driver.
Or you could install SQL Server Express Edition (free download).
Then just walk through a beginner tutorial, of which there are plenty on the web: MSDN tutorial here, one here, another here, and here is a simple MSDN sample covering ADO, ODBC, OleDB.
Really there is a huge wealth of help out there.
