First, your connection string is probably wrong. I can't tell because you didn't show it.

Second, you need to make sure you installed the MySQL Connector/Net 6.8.x, instructions found here[^].

Next, follow the instructions on this page[^]. It would seem that the section you did post above it wrong and in the wrong section of your app.config file.
