C# and DB

MySQL is good to learn how to work with databases. Its pretty simple and I think there is a ton of guides on youtube since its pretty old now.

For C#, try making a basic calculator, and then proceed to more advanced stuff like entering data to the DB directly from the app. Depends on what you want to do.

I had a problem installing MySQL, the server couldn't start so I had to install SQL Management Studio.

And yeah, I want to learn how to access data, edit, add, delete, etc with a C# Application. I've watched some vids for the last 3 days but it looks like there are different ways to achieve this, so I'm wondering if you guys know what's the best way or which one I should start with to move to an advanced method latter.

That would be good advice for other languages, but not C#. I assume OP already knows SQL, but if he doesn't for some reason, SQLite will give him a full database and SQL console just by typing "SQLITE3 <filename to save to>".

C#'s killer app at the moment is something called LINQ: a language feature that lets you construct functional chains (map/reduce, etc.) over data structures, then lets you treat an entire database as a data structure and write back-end-agnostic queries that the compiler can optimise and parallelise for you. While the IDE knows what you're doing and offers you autocompletes from your database.

If you're learning C#, you should be learning LINQ, otherwise you're learning C#-without-LINQ, which is useful only as a historical curiosity.

Holy shit for real? I'll check it then. Thanks.
