Q: 

MySQL + Visual Studio 2008 + GoDaddy = FAIL?

Hi, I'm trying to connect my ASP.NET web application to a mysql database that is hosted by GoDaddy. I downloaded and installed the MySQL connector and then tried to use the "Connect to Database" operation in Visual Studio. It shows an option for "MySQL Database" and I put in my credentials, but it gives me an error, "Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts." Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

+1  A: 

Looks like you'll have to enable "Direct Database Access" when you create the database:
