how can i know the connection status in c#?

[mexp]

here is my code:

conn = new MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection();
conn.ConnectionString = "server=127.0.0.1;uid=root;pwd=mypwd;";
cmd = new MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand();
cmd.Connection = conn;
conn.open()

after conn.open(), I shutdown the mysql server.
but the 'conn.State' neither ConnectionState.Broken nor ConnectionState.Closed.
and I get exception when I execute sql command.
