I found this which is in C# but you port it to managed C++
You need to download and install this:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/1.0.html
Code:
string MyConString = "SERVER=localhost;" +
"DATABASE=mydatabase;" +
"UID=testuser;" +
"PASSWORD=testpassword;";
MySqlConnection connection = new MySqlConnection(MyConString);
MySqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();
MySqlDataReader Reader;
command.CommandText = "select * from mycustomers";
connection.Open();
Reader = command.ExecuteReader();
while (Reader.Read())
{
string thisrow = "";
for (int i= 0;i<Reader.FieldCount;i++)
thisrow+=Reader.GetValue(i).ToString() + ",";
listBox1.Items.Add(thisrow);
}
connection.Close();
