Hi I'm a newbie to vb.net as well as sql. I'm currrently working on a vb login system. The problem I'm facing is I keep on getting an "Error Connecting to Database : Access denied for user'user@localhost'(using password:Yes)" message.
I have downloaded the MySQL suite with MYSQL connector Net.
the code is shown below:

Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient
Public Class frmLogin
Dim conn As MySqlConnection
Private Sub cmdExit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdExit.Click
Application.Exit()
End Sub
Private Sub cmdLogin_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdLogin.Click
conn = New MySqlConnection()
conn.ConnectionString = "server=" & ";" _
& "username=" & txtuser.Text & ";" _
& "password=" & txtpass.Text & ";" _
& "database=vbchat"
Try
conn.Open()
MessageBox.Show("Connection Opened Successfully")
frmChat.Show()
conn.Close()
Me.Close()
Catch MyError As MySqlException
MessageBox.Show("Error Connecting to Database: " & MyError.Message)
Finally
conn.Dispose()
End Try
End Sub
End Class

Please assist me with info on how to connect to the database (vbchat), to query the information from specific tables & columns.
All the help is greatly appreciated
thanx
