VB.net (classic ASP Page) Connects To The MySQL Server

I have a classic ASP page that connects to the mySQL server with the following code:

Set oConnection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set oRecordset = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
oConnection.Open "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}; SERVER=xxx.com; PORT=3306; DATABASE=xxx; USER=xxx; PASSWORD=xxx; OPTION=3;"
sqltemp = "select * from userinfo WHERE emailAddress = '" & theUN & "'"
oRecordset.Open sqltemp, oConnection,3,3
if oRecordset.EOF then
...

However, i am unable to find anything to connect to mySQL in ASP.NET (VB.NET). I have only found this peice of code that does not seem to work once it gets to the "Dim conn As New OdbcConnection(MyConString)" code:

Dim MyConString As String = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};" & _
"SERVER=xxx.com;" & _
"DATABASE=xxx;" & _
"UID=xxx;" & _
"PASSWORD=xxx;" & _
"OPTION=3;"
Dim conn As New OdbcConnection(MyConString)
conn.Open()
Dim MyCommand As New OdbcCommand
MyCommand.Connection = MyConnection
MyCommand.CommandText = "select * from userinfo WHERE emailAddress = '" & theUN & "'""
MyCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
MyConnection.Close()
I have these import statements also:
<%@ Import Namespace=System %>
<%@ Import Namespace=System.IO %>
<%@ Import Namespace=System.Web %>
<%@ Import Namespace=System.ServiceProcess %>
<%@ Import Namespace=Microsoft.Data.Odbc %>
<%@ Import Namespace=MySql.Data.MySqlClient %>
<%@ Import Namespace=MySql.Data %>
<%@ Import Namespace=System.Data %>
The error is as follows:
Compiler Error Message: BC30002: Type 'OdbcConnection' is not defined.
Source Error:
Line 121: "OPTION=3;"
Line 122:
Line 123: Dim conn As New OdbcConnection(MyConString) '<--error line
Line 124: conn.Open()
Line 125:

EDIT: GOT IT WORKING USING THIS WAY

Dim MyConString As String = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};" & _
"SERVER=xxx.com;" & _
"DATABASE=xxx;" & _
"UID=xxx;" & _
"PASSWORD=xxx;" & _
"OPTION=3;"
Dim conn As OdbcConnection = New OdbcConnection(MyConString)
conn.Open()
Dim MyCommand As New OdbcCommand
MyCommand.Connection = conn
'MyCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO tablename VALUES("val1","val2","val3")"
'MyCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
conn.Close()
AND WITH THE mysql.data.DLL IN PLAY
Dim MyConString As String = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};" & _
"SERVER=xxx.com;" & _
"DATABASE=xxx;" & _
"UID=xxx;" & _
"PASSWORD=xxx;" & _
"OPTION=3;"
Dim conn As New MySqlConnection(MyConString)
conn.Open()
Dim MyCommand As New MySqlCommand
MyCommand.Connection = conn
'MyCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO tablename VALUES("val1","val2","val3")"
'MyCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
conn.Close()
