First, I'd say use string.format to make the code more readable.

ConStr = string.Format("DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};SERVER={0};PORT= 3306;DATABASE={1};UID={2};PWD={3};OPTION=3", textBox_ip.Text, textBox_database.Text, textBox_username.Text, textBox_password.Text);

Obviously, you need to make sure the the address and port, etc. are correct.

Are you sure the address is correct? Is it available? Are the correct ports open? Contact the administrator.

I think you mySql server does not allow access on the root account from LAN (only from localhost).

If so, this has nothing with your code, but with your mySql server application. Check the web how to reconfigure it so it allows network access to it.

Solution 3

You need to check if the user name 'root' has access to the database.
