How do I connect MySQL database to a VB.NET 2015 application?
In order to connect to MySQL Database, you need to ensure below things:-
MySQL Connector is installed
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/
Define connection string as Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;
Or consult following link to suit your situation http://www.connectionstrings.com/mysql-connector-net-mysqlconnection/
Rest is same as you work MSSQL or OleDB connections.

I have a Web App running on Azure. I can connect to the DB with Visual Studio and sending/retrieving data on my app works fine.
However, I can not connect to the MySQL db using MySQL Workbench.
The error that I have is
Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 54
I have whitelisted my IP on the azure portal and opened the port 1433 on my computer. I don't understand why can't I connect using MySQL Workbench while having no problem with Visual Studio.
EDIT:
Here is how i have setup MySQL Workbench:
And Here is my Azure portal:
I'm using port 1433 because that is the port given on the Azure Portal, but also in this tutorial: Connect to Azure DB using MySQL Workbench
Ok - now that you included screenshots: You're trying to use MySQL Workbench to connect to a SQL Database (which is SQL Server as a service, not MySQL).
Edit: 8/15/2017
Azure now offers Azure Database for MySQL which is currently in public preview.
In your specific case, you created a SQL Database, which cannot be manipulated with MySQL Workbench.

I want to add a MySQL instances that is running as a RDS service through Amazon Web Services as a Linked Server in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
Does anyone know of any information on how I can set this up?
What I want to be able to do is query data from my MySQL server from the local Micorsoft SQL server and then combine the data into other queries.
SELECT *
FROM OPENQUERY(MySQL_Link, 'SELECT *
FROM users
WHERE name = 'test')
Do you already have the ODBC connection set up to connect to the instance?
Unable to connect to remote mysql server using unixodbc, libmyodbc
I would think that once you have that working, you would be able to use the same process for creating a linked server to MySQL
I hope this is helpful.
I know how to use ODBC to connect to a MySQL database on the same machine, but now I want to know how to connect to a MySQL database on another server across the network.
Write the database computer's name or IP-address after Server= in the connection string.
For example:
Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;User=myUsername; Password=myPassword;Option=3;
