Question

I’m trying to connect to my mysql database but nothing seem to work out for me.
I’m going crazy, I’ve searched the internet for about 3 hours straight and didn’t find anything that is any use to me. Please, can anyone help me?

This is the code I have so far:

public bool tryLogin(string username, string password)
        {
            MySqlConnection con =
                new MySqlConnection("Server=159.253.0.3;Database=dbname;Uid=username;Pwd=password;"); // Removed the login info.
            MySqlCommand cmd =
                new MySqlCommand("SELECT * FROM login WHERE user_name = '" + username + "' AND user_pass = '" + password +
                                 "';");
            cmd.Connection = con;
            con.Open();
            MySqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
            if (reader.Read())
            {
                if (reader.IsDBNull(0))
                {
                    cmd.Connection.Close();
                    reader.Dispose();
                    cmd.Dispose();
                    return false;
                }
                else
                {
                    cmd.Connection.Close();
                    reader.Dispose();
                    cmd.Dispose();
                    return true;
                }
            }
            else
            {
                return false;
            }
        }

This is the error I keep getting:

Access denied for user

YES)

Answer 1

Looks like issue of permission (rights).. you can confirm it with connecting it with your local db.. if its working with your local db then surely its a issue of permission
