在下例中，介绍了在VB.NET中使用MySqlDataReader类的方法：
Public Sub ReadMyData(myConnString As String)
Dim mySelectQuery As String = "SELECT OrderID, CustomerID FROM Orders"
Dim myConnection As New MySqlConnection(myConnString)
Dim myCommand As New MySqlCommand(mySelectQuery, myConnection)
myConnection.Open()
Dim myReader As MySqlDataReader
myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader()
' Always call Read before accessing data.
While myReader.Read()
Console.WriteLine((myReader.GetInt32(0) & ", " & myReader.GetString(1)))
End While
' always call Close when done reading.
myReader.Close()
' Close the connection when done with it.
myConnection.Close()
End Sub 'ReadMyData
