Unable to get CommandText (no replies)

Hi guys,

I’m a newcomer to MySQL. I'm using C# to connect a MySQL database. I can connect to it but I can't get information from it. I've tried few methods but it didn't work.

Here is connecting part.
MySqlConnection myConnection = new MySqlConnection();
myConnection.ConnectionString = "xxxx";
myConnection.Open();

Method 1:
MySqlCommand myCommand = myConnection.CreateCommand();
myCommand.CommandText = "SELECT count(*) FROM myTable";
label3.Text = myCommand.ExecuteScalar().ToString();

Method 2:
MySqlCommand myCommand = new MySqlCommand();
myCommand.Connection = myConnection;
myCommand.CommandText = "SELECT count(*) FROM myTable";
label3.Text = myCommand.ExecuteScalar().ToString();

Method 3:
MySqlCommand myCommand = new MySqlCommand("SELECT count(*) FROM myTable", myConnection);
label3.Text = myCommand.ExecuteScalar().ToString();

Actually I can't tell difference from all of those methods, and all methods cannot execute. They throw a same exception when code execute myCommand.ExecuteScalar(). I set a breakpoint and found CommandText is null even when I set it as "SELECT count(*) FROM myTable".

Here is my exception:

MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException

I don't know why this happens, please help me find this. Thanks.
