Как решить исключение "чтение из потока не удалось"

---

Дорогие Все,

Я занимаюсь разработкой приложения ASP.NET и с использованием инструментальных средств СУБД MySQL в качестве базы данных.
Я загрузил свою базу данных на сервер(Cpanel), пытаясь подключиться и в момент подключения.Open(), он выбрасывает следующее исключение, пожалуйста, помогите мне. Я-новая пчела.
мой код:

Dim connection As New MySqlConnection
            connection.ConnectionString = Server="IP of My CPANEL"; Port = portNumber; Database=xxxxx; Uid=<username>; Pwd=<password>;

Dim adap As New MySqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM reg_employs WHERE EmpID = '" & TextBoxID.Text.Trim & "' AND EmpPass = md5('" & TextBoxPass.Text.Trim & "')", connection)
           Dim dt As New DataTable()
           adap.Fill(dt)
           If dt.Rows.Count > 0 Then
               Session("EmpID") = dt.Rows(0).Item("EmpID").ToString
               Server.Transfer("Main.aspx", True)
           Else
               Label1.Text = "Invalid Credentials, Please Try again"
           End If

MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException was caught
