MySql.Data.MySqlClient.Replication.ReplicationManager throws an System.TypeInitializationException

Question

I\'m having trouble with my code to access a MySQL Database. Everytime I try to open my connection, a System.TypeInitializationException is thrown by MySq

Answer 1

Your connection string format is wrong. Try this :

static string cs = @"server=localhost;user id=bar;password=foobar;database=foo;";
DataTable results = new DataTable("Results");
using (MySqlConnection connection = new MySqlConnection(cs))
{
    using (MySqlCommand command = new MySqlCommand(queryString, connection))
    {
        command.Connection.Open(); //throws System.TypeInitializationException
        command.ExecuteNonQuery();

        using (MySqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader())
        results.Load(reader);
    }
}
