Short answer: there is no separate “MySQL for ASP.NET” product — you use a .NET data provider (an ADO.NET connector) to talk to a running MySQL server. As pointed out, the two practical options today are Oracle’s official Connector/NET (MySql.Data) or the open-source MySqlConnector library; both work from ASP.NET, but installation and APIs are easiest via NuGet. (dev.mysql.com)

Recommended quick workflow: 1) install a provider via NuGet (for example dotnet add package MySqlConnector or Install-Package MySql.Data), 2) keep the connection string in configuration (appsettings.json for ASP.NET Core, web.config for older ASP.NET), 3) open and use MySqlConnection/DbConnection in code and always use parameterized queries. NuGet is preferred over adding DLL references manually. (mysqlconnector.net)

Minimal C# example (async, MySqlConnector style):

using MySqlConnector;

string conn = "Server=127.0.0.1;User ID=root;Password=secret;Database=test;";
await using var connection = new MySqlConnection(conn);
await connection.OpenAsync();

await using var cmd = connection.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT id, name FROM users WHERE id = @id;";
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@id", 1);

await using var reader = await cmd.ExecuteReaderAsync();
while (await reader.ReadAsync())
{
    var id = reader.GetInt32(0);
    var name = reader.GetString(1);
}

For ASP.NET Core there are small helpers to register MySQL connections with DI and to put the string in appsettings.json; for older ASP.NET use connectionStrings in web.config. See the provider docs for exact package names and integration examples. (mysqlconnector.net)

Troubleshooting notes: if you can’t connect, check that the MySQL server is running, the user has proper privileges, the server allows remote connections (firewall/port 3306), and that the provider package matches your target framework. As noted, connection-string options vary — use the provider’s connection-string builder or the docs rather than guessing. Use parameterized queries to avoid SQL injection. (dev.mysql.com)

There is no MySQL version for .Net. I think you are looking for the .Net connector for MySQL (component that allows .net to talk to MySQL). That can be found here:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/

The connector is added to your .Net project as a reference and in your class you import MySQL.Data.Client to access it.

There are several ways to connect to mySql via .NET as well as different values you can set inside your connection string ... check out http://www.connectionstrings.com/mysql to figure out the connection string you want to use.
