Hi Jeremy,
you can connect your .NET programs with MySql without problems.
You have two different ways.
One of them is connecting it through of ODBC.
If you have .NET Framework 1.0, you'll have to install ODBC .NET.
For .NET FW 1.1 it isn't necessary.
ODBC .NET Data Provider

The other way is connecting with OleDb.
For this, you need the correct APIs (or drivers) to do it.
MySQL recomends the next free drivers (there are a lot of drivers, but they
aren't free):
ODBC

OleDb
(Beta)
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/1.0.html
(Beta and external Open Source development)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysqldrivercs/

I hope that helps.
Kind Regards,
