How to connect to MySQL Database

Question

New to C  programming  I d like to be able to access MySQL Databases   I know MySQL connector NET and MySQL for Visual Studio are required for C  development   Do I need to install them into my app   Is it possible I can just release the connector DLL with the program  Update   Are both of them required for the end-user or just the connector   Is there anything else they would need

you can use Package Manager to add it as package and it is the easiest way to do. You don't need anything else to work with mysql database.

Or you can run below command in Package Manager Console

PM> Install-Package MySql.Data

NUGET Mysql.Data
