MySQL and Visual Web Developer Express 2005

Hi I am developing a website with VWD Express 2005 and need to add a database. 
My hosting provider only supports MySQL (which is automatically installed on my
server and I have the path to it) and MS Access.  I know how to create databases
with MS Access as it is pretty easy however i am finding it a bit hard to
implement a MySQL one.

 

For example, in the project, when I use MS Access, I add a database and I would
have the database saved in the App_Data folder.  Now, what should I do to add a
MySql database?  How should I make the connection string?  How can I build the
tables?  How am I going to link the controls to the database??

 

Can someone help me or point me to any tutorials?

 

Thanks
