Connecting Visual c++ 2008 to MySql - mysql

Question

I am trying to connect c++ to mysql.
I am using visual c++ 2008 Express Edition.

But the Compiler Is not able to link With MySql Project.
I think I need to Link throgh Project->properties something Libraries.
I had installed mysql-connector-c++-1.0.5-win32 from [http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mirror.php?id=369369] website.
Still it is not able to detect my files.
Please help me.

Please read the link and add the references properly. I suggest you read the documentation atleast once since you want to use it.
