title: Raise an event from MySQL and handle it from VB.NET (or something similar)?
body: <p>I'm working with MySQL 5.1.39 and Visual Studio 2008 and connecting both with MySQL Connector Net 6.1.2.</p>
  
  <p>What I'd like to do is once a MySqlConnection object is created, be able to handle the "event raised" when a field in a specific row in a given table is updated.</p>
  
  <p>I mean, when that value in that table has been manually changed or modified from any other application, I'd like to receive a signal in my opened VB.NET application. Until now, I do it from opened VB.NET application checking that table every X seconds, but I wonder if it could be done in a better way.</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks for your attention and time.</p>
