body: <p>When storing a MySQL connection string in App.config, what value should the providerName property be set to?</p>
  
  <p>For example in the below App.config file, what value should I use for the providerName? Does it matter?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt;
  &lt;configuration&gt;
    &lt;connectionStrings&gt;
      &lt;add name="MySQL" connectionString="SERVER=8.8.8.8; DATABASE=foo; UID=bar; PASSWORD=foobar" providerName="WhatGoesHere?" /&gt;
    &lt;/connectionStrings&gt;
  &lt;/configuration&gt;
  </code></pre>
