Description:
Opening a connection with empty password results in the exception:

"The given key was not present in the dictionary".

It only happens when I use PWD instead of PASSWORD option.
Nevertheless, PWD is a legal option and it has to work in the same way as PASSWORD.

The exception occurs disregard correct or incorrect credentials.

How to repeat:
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection();
   try
   {
     con.ConnectionString = "server=xxxx;database=xxxxx;user id=xxxxx;PWD=;";
     con.Open();
     MessageBox.Show("Done!");
     con.Close();
   }
   catch (Exception ex)
   {
     string error = ex.Message.ToString();
     error+= ex.StackTrace;
     MessageBox.Show(error);
   }
}
