无法连接到任何指定的mysql主机。 C＃

Question

I've found many suggestions to fix this unprocessed exception, and I have tried every one I could find (and understand). It's been hours, but still no results... I've created a windows forms application that asks for a client's information and I'm trying to Insert this info into a DB I have created in MySQL. This is the code that seems to be working for everyone but me:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{

    private MySqlConnection mConn;
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        mConn = new MySqlConnection("Persist Security Info=False; server=localhost; database=xxxxxxx;uid=yyyyyyy;password=zzzzzzzz");
    }

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        mConn.Open();
        if (mConn.State == ConnectionState.Open)
        {
            MySqlCommand command = new MySqlCommand("INSERT INTO client VALUES (" + textBox1.Text + ",' " + textBox2.Text + "', '" + textBox3.Text + "'," + textBox4.Text + ",' " + textBox5.Text + "')", mConn);
            command.ExecuteNonQuery();
            mConn.Close();
        }
        else
            MessageBox.Show("Connection Failed!");
    }
}

This is the exception text:

MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException (0x80004005): Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): The requested adress is not valid in this context [::1]:3306 in ...

If you can help me I'll be very grateful. It's my first year programming and so far it has passed quite well, but now I have been "left behind" in my class because of this recurring error. Thank you in advance :)

Answer 1

My Professor was able to find the problem. For some reason my computer can't recognize the term localhost as the IP address 127.0.0.1, so when I was writing server = localhost in the connection string, an error occurred. When I tried writing server = 127.0.0.1 everything worked smoothly. I hope this is helpful.

Working connection string:

"Persist Security Info=False;server=127.0.0.1;database=xx;uid=yy;password=zz"

Answer 2

The Problem with establishing connection to the remote site will be solved by providing public ip of that db instead of private one.
