How to add login form in Visual Studio 2008 with MySQL support

Hi there I am currently trying to create a small application in visual studio 2008 and would like to know how i am able to create a login form as already available within the program but for it to validate users by conecting to an external MySQL server that has usernames and passwords stored on it. Once the form has validated the user it then moves onto the next form I specify.
I would really appreciate any help

Regards.
