mysql backup error, can't connect to localhost

Posted 15 September 2013 - 09:48 PM

Hi!

I'm using this code in order to backup my mysql database. 
  Process.Start("C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysqldump.exe", "-uusername -ppassword db -r""" & txtpath.Text & "\backup.sql""")



However, the command prompt shows an error stating it cannot connect to localhost, which apparently keeps my db from being backed up.

Any help will be appreciated! Thank you and God bless!

Why do you have extra quotes?

I'd guess its VB.NET, that's the way to embed a quote character in a string.

What happens when you run the command yourself from the command prompt, instead of trying to do it with code?
