Yes, you can. Here is a list of articles.

Just google it and you'll find much more articles on this subject.

Answer 2

asp.net MVC doesn't force you to use any specific kind of data access. You can use any database you want, provided you have a way to access it from .NET of course.
I doubt you will find an interesting article specifically about using mySql in an MVC application, but there must be a lot of stuff about mySQL in .NET in general.

Answer 3

ASP.NET MVC doesn't imply any data access mechanism, you can use ADO.NET, LINQ-2-SQL, Entity Framework or open-source ORM frameworks like NHibernate, SubSonic etc. with MVC apps. The good news is that most data access libraries/frameworks for .NET support MySQL.
