Connection string

[Mick]

How do I know what my connection string is.
I'm sorry but I'm really new to MySQL, and I just want to learn how to make a table in a database and populate and query it.

I dont know how to even do that from cpanel so I want to try it proglamatically from within C#.

can anyone help?

Say my site is http://www.mysite.co.cc, and my database name is test1_test1

would my connection string be

Server=http://www.mysite.co.cc;Database=test1_test1;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;

Depends on how you are accessing it - I am not 100% sure from a C# program though.

I would be accessing it via my windows form application.

I have looked on http://www.connectionstrings.com/

But just cannot get my head around it, its the database url that is confusing me, whether a port needs to be added etc...

Let me try and put my question another way.

What is the address of my database? its not localhost because I want to connect remotely.
How do I remotely connect to and query my database.

you could use epic.0sites.net or the IP or your domain .. would just need to add them to your MySQL access hosts.
