However, for using Mysql database with ASP.NET, you need to download and install a connector from Mysql site.
The one you need is Windows Binaries, no installer (ZIP).

Installation

cd /usr/local/src/
mkdir asp-connector
cd asp-connector
wget Windows Binaries, no installer (ZIP)
/opt/mono/bin/gacutil -i  /usr/local/src/asp-connector/bin/MySql.Data.dll

Most of you forget the next step and the Mysql connector won’t work.

cd /opt/mono/lib/mono/gac/MySql.Data
cd 5.2.3.0__xxxxxxxxxx/
chmod 755 MySql.Data.dll

Restart Apache

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

Now you should be able to connect to mysql using .aspx scripts

Here is a custom script to check the working.
First Create a mysql database first (using command line)

$ mysql -u root -p

mysql> CREATE DATABASE asptest;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)

mysql> USE asptest;
Database changed

mysql> CREATE TABLE testtable ( id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(255) );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.09 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO testtable VALUES(null,'Fame');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO testtable VALUES(null,'Clean');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> SELECT * FROM testtable;
+----+----------+
| id | name |
+----+----------+
| 1 | Fame |
| 2 | Clean |
+----+----------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON asptest.* TO asptest@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'nogesspassword';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.12 sec)

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.13 sec)

Lets go to the script
Here is it. It will display the contents of the database.

First, create a file called test.aspx in your web directory
Add this code and save it.

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>ASP test</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

    <script runat="server">
    private void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       string connectionString = "Server=localhost;Database=asptest;User ID=asptest;Password=nogesspassword;Pooling=false;";
       MySqlConnection dbcon = new MySqlConnection(connectionString);
       dbcon.Open();

       MySqlDataAdapter adapter = new MySqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM testtable", dbcon);
       DataSet ds = new DataSet();
       adapter.Fill(ds, "result");

       dbcon.Close();
       dbcon = null;

       ArtistsControl.DataSource = ds.Tables["result"];
       ArtistsControl.DataBind();
    }
    </script>

  </head>

  <body>
    <h1>Artists</h1>
    <asp:DataGrid runat="server" id="ArtistsControl" />
  </body>

</html>

Finally, you need a web.config file, in the same web directory where test.aspx . It should contain the following to enable the MySQL libraries to be loaded:

Add the following to web.config

<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation>
<assemblies>
<add assembly="MySql.Data"/>
</assemblies>
</compilation>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

Now try accessing the file test.aspx using http://domainname.com/test.aspx

If you need any help, please let me know.
