It may be possible if you change the MySQL++ library build settings to make it a managed library, but that's way, way beyond both my competence and my interest right now. All I can do to really help right now is accept patches -- whether to the documentation or the code -- from people who actually care about this aspect of things.

You should continue this in the following thread, which revolves around essentially the same issue:

http://lists.mysql.com/plusplus/6468

I was facing a couple of difficulties at first with using msql++ and VC++ express 2005, but all those were caused by funky defaults in VC++. After I figured those out, the mysql++ library and samples were working just fine. It is really nice to see a database come alive in just a couple of lines of code thanks to mysql++.

I did get my windows forms app to work but I got too frustrated with the different syntax for managed code (but that's probably just me). I got some help from the original author of the thread you are referring to and I'll post some comments over there for the people that want to go that route.
