[Mono-aspnet-list] Unable to connect to MySQL database with SqlConnection!

[don rhummy]

I get the error "Connection Refused"! I have the connection string correct from what I can tell. Both the DB and ASP.Net are on the same server.

    SqlConnection oConn = new SqlConnection( "Server=localhost;Database=testDB;Uid=root;Pwd=mypass" );
    oConn.Open();

I get this error:


System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Connection refused at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Connect (System.Net.EndPoint remote_end) [0x00000]  at System.Net.Sockets.Socket+Worker.Connect () [0x00000] 


Those exact connection settings work if I do it through ODBC and use a DSN. Why can't I get SqlConnection to work?
