how do I connect to mysql database from visual studio without requiring SSL connection?
You might want to explicitly add this to the connection string - "SslMode=none" 
Your connection should look like this: 


  MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection("user id=root;server=localhost;persistsecurityinfo=True;database=edutechsys"); SslMode=none; MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand("SELECT * FROM
  TblLogin WHERE UserName = '" + TxtUserName.Text.Trim() + "' and
  Password = '" + TxtPassword.Text.Trim() + "'"); conn.Open();
  cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); DataTable dt = new DataTable();
  MySqlDataAdapter da = new MySqlDataAdapter();
