        MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection(@"server=http://192.168.8.102; userid=root; password=0713; database=pos_system; port=3306");
        return conn;
    }

I try to run my application using a client pc but it shows this name cannot find. how to fix my error. I also open firewall port 3306.

Answer 1

Your connection string format is not correct for MySql, try something like this:

var con = new MySqlConnection(@"Server=192.168.8.102;Port=3306;Database=pos_system;Uid=root;Pwd=0713;");
