Connect to mySQL with VB.NET from values - mysql

Question

Im trying to connect to mySql, but I have problem locating where im doing wrong.
My form contain e a label that is a number thats going to be posted to Score and a textbox where the user typed their name to be posted in Navn.
My code so far is:
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim connect As New SqlConnection("Data Source = mysqlAdress;Network Library= DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=**;User ID=**;Password=**;")
Dim query As String = "INSERT INTO 2048 VALUES(#score, #name)"
Dim command As New SqlCommand(query, connect)
command.Parameters.Add("#score", SqlDbType.Int).Value = Label1.Text
command.Parameters.Add("#navn", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = TextBox1.Text
connect.Open()
connect.Close()
End Sub

Answer 1

Your table name should be enclosed in backticks like this:
Dim query As String = "INSERT INTO `2048` VALUES(#score, #name)"
Also try to avoid table names with such naming conventions ie., only numbers.
Also you are opening and closing the connection simultaneously.
connect.Open()
connect.Close()
Try like this:
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source = mysqlAdress;Network Library= DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=**;User ID=**;Password=**;"
Using SQLConnection As New MySqlConnection(connectionString)
Using sqlCommand As New MySqlCommand()
With sqlCommand
.CommandText = "INSERT INTO `2048` VALUES(#score, #name)"
.Connection = SQLConnection
.CommandType = CommandType.Text
.Parameters.AddWithValue("#score", Label1.Text)
.Parameters.AddWithValue("#name", TextBox1.Text)
End With
Try
SQLConnection.Open()
sqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
Catch ex As MySqlException
MsgBox ex.Message.ToString
Finally
SQLConnection.Close()
End Try
End Using
End Using
End Sub
