Using encryption (old) using MySqlConnection

Connection string

This MySQL Connector/Net connection string can be used for connections to MySQL.

This one activates SSL encryption for all data sent between the client and server. The server must have a certificate installed.

Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;
Encrypt=true;

This option is available for Connector/NET version 5.0.3 through 6.2.1. From 6.2.1 use the SslMode option instead.
