I wanted to used standard TCP/IP connection using MYSQLconnection. Is this the best way?
Whether or not this is the best way depends on your environment. For many cases, this would not be the correct way to go about things, because the person running the client program would have direct access to your database. You would also be required to open your firewall to allow anybody running your application to have access to the database. Not only security problems, but if you wanted to change the queries being run to perform a particular action, then you would have to ensure that everyone updated their client program. An alternative way of doing something like this that may work better, would be to create a web server (XML, SOAP, JSON, etc.) that your VB.Net program called to complete various actions. That way the VB.Net program would not have to connect to the database directly, which would allow both for increased security, as well as allow you to change things on the server side such as table structure without the VB.Net program being aware.

Is visual basic application (VBA) part of Microsoft Access?
Do VB and VBA use the same syntax? To verify, Microsoft Access uses VBA not VB right?
If I create an access database using vba, can I run it on any computer that has Microsoft Access installed?
Thanks
Yes. To be more specific it's part of Office. You can run VBA in Excel and Word also...
For simplicity sake - Yes, they have similar syntax. It really is more closely tied to VB before it was VB.Net. VB.Net has diverged quite a bit now from VBA BUT you will find the basic syntax has similarities.
Here's a bit of history on it...
Yes, if you create an Access DB that is using VBA in it, it should run on a computer with Access installed.
Ofcourse VBA is strictly Microsoft Windows so if you run on any computer running Microsoft Windows it should work. And bytheway for the first question VBA IS is the same as VB.
And next time just mind the way you formulate your questions as your questions should be - i did this,this what i have, but no working - kinada questions check the https://stackoverflow.com/faq

I have created a program in VB Express 2008 for a small company to store and manipulate data. Currently we store our data using SQL Express 2008 on our work server. This runs smoothly with no known issues.
We have several employees who are very rarely in the office who now need access to the database to create reports and view information for meetings etc. It is now time to migrate the database over to MySQL!
As I am using VB Express 2008 I have no MySql References available, I read several articles and forum posts on this subject that told me to download SQL Connector .Net 5.2.7 to enable me to browse and add the MySQL.Data reference. I have tried several versions and have had no success, if you have any suggestions on how I can find the MySQL Reference it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
What's your problem? you can not add the reference? You were not very clear..
Just download http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/
then you will be able to add reference for Mysql.Data to your project.
PS : Here you can find the manuals ( http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ )

I am working on "MapView" app in iPhone
In this app the Latitude and Longitude of my current Location is send to server so other user can see this Location and display in MapView.
How to insert record or data into mysql(PHP) from iPhone?
You will need a web server in addition to your database server, to host a web application with an API that your iPhone app can access. This web app can be written in any language that can write to a MySQL database (php, python, java, ruby, perl, to name a few). You'll likely want to use a restful api, using json for data representation. There are many resources available to help you in learning to create such a thing. Good luck!

i wanted to ask a question that i myself have been asked in class by our database teacher;
What makes MySQL different from other Sqls? I've always been using MySQL due to the fact that's what we have been taught when i learned how to program websites, but honestly? I dont know what makes MySQL better then other SQL's(For program development) such as;
SQLite
MS Access
PostgreSQL
MongoDB
I was hoping someone could point me towards the answer or perhaps even give me a explanation of it.
I hope it was alright to post this question here as i'm unsure as to were else it should have been posted.
I'd choose MySQL over
SQLite, because SQLite is too "lite" for a lot of purposes; it does not have multi-user access, so would not work quite well in server environment
MS Access and PostgreSQL, because they are less common and I'm more likely to get useful community support for them (especially valid for MS Access :-)
MongoDB, because that is not SQL database at all, and you've asked about SQL databases

I am trying to figure out a way to configure paypal and mysql. For example: After a user has purchased something, I want paypal to verify that the payment has gone through and it will update my database in phpmyadmin and it will output the necessary information (transaction id, how much etc.).
How would I be able to do the above? Can anyone provide links to tutorials and helpful steps. Thanks!
Also: I've tried looking through the paypal dev section, no luck. I've searched through multiple topics and I have had no luck into what I am looking for.
You want to utilize PayPayl's Instant Payment Notification (IPN) system.
IPN can be setup to make callbacks to your system. The callbacks include all of the information that you need, including the transaction ID and the status.
PayPal will not integrate with your database directly. You need a web server and some code in between PayPal and your database.
They provide sample code in various languages, including PHP.
Be sure to use their sandbox facility for testing. You'll need to apply for a sandbox account.
