wpf connect to mysql database - C#

Question

Please advise me. I am trying to develop Windows Application in WPF with Mysql server database.

Which approach I have to use to create connection establish on the Mysql database?

1) Entity Framework

OR

2) ADO.NET

OR

3) Other one

One of other matter is, the client demanding that, when installing .exe file on client machine, then should have to automatically install mysql server database (ie, xampp or other ect..) also.

How can I do this?
