I am using Visual Studio 2013 and MySQL NET adapter 6.8.3. I have created a WinForms app in VB. I am trying to create a dataset with a table from the MySQL database (named "propworx"). I do the following:
1. I create a new DataSet.
2. I edit the DataSet with the DataSet Designer.
3. I right-click on ANY TableAdapter, and I click "Configure".
4. I click on "Query Builder".
I get the following error message:
The query builder has failed.
Authentication to host '' for user '' using method 'mysql_native_password' failed with message: Access denied for user
''@'Fabs-Work' (using password: NO)
(In the above, "Fabs-Work" is my computer name.)
Looking at the error message, I immediately see that the host and user information appears to be missing. But it is in my app.config file:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="PropWorx.My.MySettings.PropWorxConnectionString" connectionString="server=localhost;user id=propworx;password=********;persistsecurityinfo=True;database=propworx" providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
(I have blanked out the password in the above post, but I have indeed double checked it and it is correct).
The database is hosted locally. I have created a database user in MySQL called "propworx" and have given it full rights.
Any ideas why Visual Studio Dataset Designer is not reading the info from my settings file?
