InvalidOperationException When connecting to mySQL database in C#-CodePudding

I'm currently using .NET Framework 4.8 and I can't seem to get into my database. The password and other connection info has been tested elsewhere and is valid, so does anyone know why I continue to get this exception? System.InvalidOperationException:'Internal connection fatal error.' When I run the following simple code?

using System.Data.SqlClient;
             SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("...");

conn.Open();
conn.Close();

I'm just trying to get into the database, not even query yet... Any help would be greatly appriciated.

System.Data.SqlClient is the SQL Server driver. You need the MySql driver, which is available on NuGet.
