Connection Unexpectedly Terminated

[Michael Lane]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I'm having. I'm trying to connect to a remote database and just submit some select queries. It seems to work fine after it gets going, but I always get an exception stating that the Connection was unexpectedly terminted when I submit the first query. If I just submit the query again, it all works fine after that. Any ideas on what's going on?
Here is my source code:

//some of the needed variables
private MySqlConnection conn;
private DataTable data;
private MySqlDataAdapter da;

//skip some unimportant stuff
private void connectBtn_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (conn != null)
conn.Close();

string connStr = String.Format("server={0};user id={1}; password=2}; database=ranthali_osc1; pooling=false",server.Text, userid.Text, password.Text );

try
{
this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
this.databaseExplorerStatusStripPanel.Text= "Connecting to Database.";
conn = new MySqlConnection( connStr );
conn.Open();
this.databaseExplorerStatusStripPanel.Text = "Connected to " + server.Text;
this.Cursor = Cursors.Arrow;
}
catch (MySqlException ex)
{
this.databaseExplorerStatusStripPanel.Text = "Unable to connect.";
MessageBox.Show( "Error connecting to the server: " + ex.Message );
}
}

private void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
data = new DataTable();

da = new MySqlDataAdapter(Query.Text.ToString(), conn);

//MessageBox.Show(da.ToString());
da.Fill(data);

dataGrid.DataSource = data;
}
catch (MySqlException ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error: " + ex.ToString());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}

}

private void Form1_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
{
if (conn!=null)
{
conn.Close();
}
}
