Hello Anthony,

You mention that you were trying to connect to a MySQL database, however your code is making use of the classes that allow connections to a Microsoft SQL database. Mentioned classes don't support the "host" keyword, hence the error.

To connect to a MySQL database you'll need to either install MySQL Connector .NET or add the MySQL.Data Nuget package to your project. Once installed, just make the following small changes to your code:

using System.Data.SqlClient; -> using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;
SqlConnection -> MySqlConnection
SqlCommand -> MySqlCommand



Regards.
