I was looking at it because of the example in the MySQL Reference
Manual. I not sure why that is the "prescribed way" shown in the
documentation. If I could answer your question with a question: Why does
the MySQL documentation offer ODBC as the solution?

The Sample for vb.net lists "Imports Microsoft.Data.Odbc" in the
sample code however when I use the code I get an error: "Namespace or
type 'ODBC' for the imports 'Microsoft.Data.Odbc' cannot be found.
When trying to add the dll as a reference I cannot find it on my
system. Anyone have some insight into this?
