Im developing a vb.net application with mysql database. Its working well when I tested it using db4free.net. Here is the Code:

If myConnection.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then
myConnection.ConnectionString="server=db4free.net;port:3306;uid=myuserid;password=mypass;
database=mydb;"
myConnection.Open()
myCommand.Connection = myConnection

Now I purchased host via GODADDY and its no longer working. I have here the following code and I got some errors:

myConnection.ConnectionString = "Server=gnmsbusinesssolution.com;port:3306;uid=myuserid;
password=mypass;database=mydb;"

Error:Authentication to host 'gnmsbusinesssolution.com' for user 'myuserid' using method 'mysql_native_password' failed with message: Access denied for user 'myuserid'@112.198.75.129; (using password: YES)

Can you please help me how to find a solution for this thing? thank you very much.

If you do not follow GoDaddy's instruction then expect it not to work, try it.
