SocketException : No such host is known

I want to connect to mysql database from my asp page.So for that as per what my hosting providers told i used the connection string where server is given as "localhost:3309"

Dim myConnection As MySqlConnection = New MySqlConnection("server=localhost:3309; user id=TID; password=TPWD; database=TDB; pooling=false;")

Dim strSQL As String = "SELECT * from Device_Data"

Dim myDataAdapter As MySqlDataAdapter = New MySqlDataAdapter(strSQL, myConnection)
Dim myDataSet As DataSet = New DataSet()
myDataAdapter.Fill(myDataSet, "Device_Data")

MySQLDataGrid.DataSource = myDataSet
MySQLDataGrid.DataBind()

But when i run this page i got this error

[SocketException (0x2af9): No such host is known]

So is this the server issue?? If yes then what should they do to resolve this issue? Whe开发者_如何学JAVAn contacted the server guys they are saying this is my coding issue.. Are they right?

The correct connection string for MySQL ADO.NET Connector is

Server=localhost;Port=3309;Database=Test;Uid=username;Pwd=password;

try server=localhost; port=3309
