Q:

Programming a front-end for a MySQL database

I need to make a front-end desktop application for a MySQL database to be used on a Windows machine. What language(s) should I use to make a front end that will connect to the MySQL backend?

I will need to be able to search through the database and pull data.

+1 A:

MySQL has connectors for ADO.NET (and lots of other languages and frameworks). See MySQL Connectors.

You tagged your question with .NET -- you can use any .NET language, principal among them being VB.NET and C#.

There are a few common technology "stacks" that group platform components. MySQL is most commonly associated with LAMP: Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP, where you'll program in PHP. That doesn't preclude other arrangements, like the unfortunately named WIMP: Windows + IIS + MySQL + PHP. Still, MySQL is very often paired with PHP. See this poll to give a further idea: http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/quickpolls/index.php?pollname=primary-prog-lang

A:

Create, edit, delete, search, update.

I like drag and drop, so for rapid programming, i myself would use these tools: Visual Studio.NET for pure windows, JDeveloper for linux/unix/etc.
