Well I am developing a Windows Application in C# and I have a Web Hosting with you. So what can I do in order to connect to MySQL Server from my C# Application?

Re: Connect remotely to MySQL Server from C#

1) First you need to download a connector from mysql for c#.. I would imagine its connect/net
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/

2) Then when you setup your database make sure you change your "Access hosts" to allow your IP address to connect to the database. You should be able to enter just "%" with none of the IP ranges specified to allow any IP to connect

3) And finally I would then find a tutorial on using the connector, there should be many out there.

I hope that helps
