Is it possible from ASP .NET through the latest MySQL .NET connector to use persistent connections? I’ve experimented with this several times, but without any good luck.
How would I go by doing this?
Edit: By persistent I mean keeping the database connection open, and using only 1 connection for everything.
Possible. Sounds like you were doing connection pooling. Take a look at

Forgot to add the link to the mysql docs: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/apis-php-mysqli.persistconns.html
