Is my mysql password secure over .net connector?

Lets assume i include MySQL Connector into my vb.net Project.
And in the project i include a connection string along with password to my user for database stored on other server.
Although it might be difficult to crack the application/software and retrieve password, but could it still not be possible to leech credentials over the network..

for ex, when my software connects over internet to MySQL host from WiFi, if there is any specific tool with hackers, can they know my password? or MySQL connector encrypts the data and then connect?
