I’m new to Visual Studio and MySQL. I’m creating a Login Page and connect it with MySQL. But whenever I add a connection string. I always got an error.

enter image description here

Can anybody tell me what’s the problem in here?

Please.

This is my config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="ODBCDriver" value="Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};Server=localhost;Database=timekeeping;uid=root;pwd=admin;Option=3;"/>
</appSettings>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Database=timekeeping;uid=root;pwd=admin;Option=3;" />
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>

    I’m not entirely familiar with MySQL connections, but your config file should look more like this

    <configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="ODBCDriver" value="Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};Server=localhost;"/>
  </appSettings>
  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Database=timekeeping;uid=root;pwd=admin;Option=3;" />
  </connectionStrings>
</configuration>
