Answer 1

Bind the MySQL .Net Connector in your project and then you can do something like:

using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;

string dbConnectionString = "SERVER=server_address;DATABASE=db_name;UID=user;PASSWORD=pass;";
MySqlConnection connection = new MySqlConnection(dbConnectionString);
connection.Open();
MySqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();
command.CommandText = "select name from mytable";
MySqlDataReader Reader = command.ExecuteReader();    
while (Reader.Read())
{
     string name = "";
     if (!Reader.IsDBNull(0))
         name = (string)Reader["name"];
}
Reader.Close();
