Cannot use MySqlConnection after initialization. Why?

Question

I downloaded MySql Connector/NET, and set it as a reference in my project.
I added the using MySql.Data.MySqlClient; to my code.

Now I tried initializing a connection like this:

MySqlConnection test = new MySqlConnection(Utilities.GenerateMySqlConnectionString("localhost", "test", "root", ""));

However I cannot use this object later. Looks like the IDE doesn't recognize it. Here's a screenshot to explain better. IDE Screenshot http://n.muboo.net/NoMySQLConnection.png

Where are you at this point? If you're at the class level, it's expecting you to declare a method, property, field, event, etc, and won't show you any fields in intellisense.

Oh my god, dummy me. Thank you, I hadn't noticed at all! I feel like I'm wasting StackOverflow's bandwidth.
