C++ Windows Form Application Mysql Connection

I can't seem to figure out how to connect to mysql in my windows form application. I've installed all the proper libraries and have included them, thats not the 开发者_JAVA技巧issue. The issue is I can't find a tutorial on connecting to mysql. I've found some one console applications, tried them, but yet for some reason they do not work. I just need to be sent into the right direction, thanks.

I don't know what library you're using, but I recommend MySQL++. It's simple, has a great manual and lot of examples.
