Unhandled Exception: System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

Hi,

I routinely run a import script written in VB that connects to my MYSQL server and imports data into tables.

I did not write this script, nor am I familiar with the Visual Basic scripting language. So I would really appreciate some help.

Our MYSQL database is hosted and managed in the cloud. Our hosting providers recently upgraded our server to 4.0.16. ( I know it's old).. however after the upgrade my script is not working please find my error message below.. please can someone help?

Connecting to MySQL...
server=83.x.x.x;user=x.x.x.x;database=swdata;port=5002;password=x.x.x.x
