Description:
Loops Throwing First chance exception when connection opened with incorrect connection string entered. This inspite of being in a try catch. 
The open should only throw a single appropriate exception.

How to repeat:
Set wrong database or user details and open a conection

Mark,

which exception type is your code catching?
can you copy paste a small code fragment to make it clearer?
Thanks.

It never gets back to the try catch in my code.
But Visual Studio when running in debug displays continuous
"A first chance exception of type 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException' occurred in MySql.Data.dll"
This happens if any of the connection string values are wrong.

My code is

try
{
   using (conn = Query.GetConnection())
   {
      Adapter = new MySqlDataAdapter();
      Adapter.SelectCommand = new MySqlCommand(queryString, conn);
      conn.Open(); //******* loops here throwing exceptions *****
      Adapter.Fill(this);
   }
}
catch (MySqlException ex) 
{
   Query.DecodeMySqlException(ex, queryString); // ***** not executed *****
   throw ex;
}

which uses:

static public MySqlConnection GetConnection()
{
   MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection();
   conn.ConnectionString = _ConnectionString;
   return conn;
}

There is another try-catch in the calling routine that catches all exceptions.
That never gets executed.
