Hey guys,
I just installed the MySQL Connector/C++ on my windows machine running Visual Studio 2010 Evaluation. I used the link below to get me started, setting up my project using dynamic linking.

The code compiles successfully (source in the link), but upon executing the application i get an "Unhandled Exception" error:
"Unhandled exception at 0x7855b9cc in MySQLtest.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x64726f77."
Debugging my source shows it breaking at this line:
con = driver->connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:3306", "root", "password");
Which naturally makes me conclude that it might very well be a connectivity issue to my MySQL database. My MySQL database is running at port 3306 and I've checked the username and password to be correct.
BTW. I've tried to switch from debug to release--as others on this forum have previously suggested--to no avail.
Thanks guys.
