Connection string from SQL to mysql

[alphatech]

I would like to change the connection string from Microsoft SQL to MySQL, do you know what is the correct syntax?

     Dim Connection As New SqlConnection("Server=192.168.0.14\SQLEXPRESS;Database=HomeAutomationDB;User ID=SA;Password=xxxxxxx;Trusted_Connection=False;")
  
   'Dim Connection As New SqlConnection("Server=192.168.0.14:3306;Database=HomeAutomationDB;User ID=username;Password=password")

This is the entire script, any help will be greatly appreciated. I read many posts and sql connections. My challenge is that I can not run this script via an event, it needs to run from the startup.vb, I guess it want some parameters if I run it from the event.

Thanks,
