.net Connecting to mysql

[Jeep Stone]

I'm connecting to a mysql database using odbc on a net site. I've got the Mysql ODBC driver installed on my machine and can connect successfully using system.data.odbc and a connection string. However, when I provide the site to our client who has their own dedicated server, it complains that they don't have the ODBC driver installed. Are there any alternatives? They have their own .net framework that handles all of the database stuff, but I don't reckon they'll give us the framework to install locally so am I screwed unless they'll put the drivers on their server.?

Never done it myself (usually SQL Server)

Have you looked at this site for the different sorts of connection strings?

Look for the .NET variants
