OK so I not an expert never having built an ASP.NET web app against
mySQL, however, I have built an app that talked to mySQL and had web bits
that talked to the backend in php.

I think the most pertinent part of my experience as it applies to you is
that you should be using the managed connectors to mySQL [1].

As for the recommendations that you don't bind your web controls to
mySQL? Seems a bit odd and I suspect your sources are a little
misinformed.

I am a newbie to mySQL. I am developing an ASP .net Web site with mySQL
as the database (of products), using vb .net 2003.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good book (or in fact ANY
book) on using mySQL with asp .net ??

I am having trouble working out:
1. What type of connector to use to my database (i.e. ODBC or mySQL's
.net Connector)?
2. Whether it is advised to bind you data to the web controls (e.g.
datagrid). I've read somewhere that binding asp controls to your mySQL
data is not advised.....??

I really need help so _ANY_ constructive comments greatly appreciated.
