If you are designing a microsoft windows software to connect to MySQL servers the easiest way to create connections is to use the ODBC Drivers provided by mysql ( http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/5.1.html). Once installed the drivers you will have to create the (System) Data Source Names in the ODBC control panel (Administrative Tools). You need to create at least one DSN per each MySQL database (instance) you want to connect to. Data Source Names are links that contain all the informations to estabilish the connection to a database, so including host, port, user, password, default database, and other options. Once you have created a System Data Source Name that link will be available to any application in that windows host. If you are wondering why you can see the connections to SQL Server probably ODBC DSNs have been created.
There is available the .NET connector as well but I never used that, so I can't help you with that.
