Solution 1

If you're using that format of connection string, it's not "DataSource", but "Data Source" with a space in between. If you're ever unsure about a connection string, you need to check out this site:

Solution 2

Hi,

Here is your mistake,

C#

conn = "DataSource=localhost;DATABASE=learning;USER ID=root;PASSWORD=admin;";

please Rewrite as

C#

conn = "Data Source=localhost;DATABASE=learning;USER ID=root;PASSWORD=admin;";
