Answer 1

You need to specify the Port as a separate argument in the connection string and it looks like the password key is "Pwd" instead of "Password".

See connectionstrings.com for help on the exact syntax.

Answer 2

this is the string format I use to connect via the MySql.Data.dll version 6.1.2.0

server={0};user id={1};password={2};database={3};port={4}

so your connection string should be

server=localhost;user id=user;password=password;database=mydb;port=3316
