I have installed MySql and the sample Sakila database from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/sakila/en/sakila.html#sakila-installation

I cannot seem to get connected. I have

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.Odbc;
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            string sConnString = "SERVER=MySql;DATABASE=sakila;UID=Root;PASSWORD=#####;";
            MySqlConnection oConnection = new MySqlConnection(sConnString);

            oConnection.Open();

        
        }
    }
}

I get the error ""Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts."


I have zero experience with MySql. Can anyone point the way?
