Question

See more:

Reason for the exception:The system detected an invalid pointer address in attempting to use a pointer argument in a call

My Code:

C#

String connection_string = "Server=localhost;Database=test;Uid=root;Pwd=password;";
MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection(connection_string);
MySqlCommand cmd=con.CreateCommand();
con.Open();            //Exception at this line

Is there any problem in connection string? I have referred from here

Try setting your project to compile in x86 instead of the AnyCPU mode.
