无法连接到mysql数据库_无法连接到mysql数据库

VB.NET Express 2010。

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim connection As MySqlConnection

connection = New MySqlConnection()

connection.ConnectionString = "Server=example.com; Uid=***; Pwd=***; Database=***;"

Try

connection.Open()

MessageBox.Show("Connection Opened Successfully")

connection.Close()

Catch mysql_error As MySqlException

MessageBox.Show("Error Connecting to Database: " & mysql_error.Message)

Finally

connection.Dispose()

End Try

End Sub我也导入了MySql.Data.MySqlClient：

Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient但是当我点击按钮时，整个应用程序就冻结了。

我已经添加了对MySql.Data.dll的引用。路径：

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Connector Net 6.4.4\Assemblies\v4.0\MySql.Data.dll这样的文件是从http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/下载的安装程序安装的

这是为什么？
