connection to MySql database on host

Question

I have a problem regarding connecting to my database that is located on my website host server. I have watched few tutorials, took a look on few articles here on stack overflow and read official mysql documentation, and i steel can't connect to it thru my c# console app. This is my code:

string connstring = string.Format("Server=www.vm-consult.com; Database=vmconsul_sitedatabase; Uid=vmconsul_mijovicpetar; Pwd=mypassword");
MySqlConnection connection = new MySqlConnection();
connection.ConnectionString = connstring;

connection.Open();

I have also went to c panel in remote MySQL tab and set "%" to my remote sql hosts.

All the parameters for con string are correct. In server in connection string I also tried to set IP address, did not change anything.

This is exception I get(on the last line: connection.open()):

Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts.

Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
