In general, after connecting to the instance creating a DB (using CREATE DATABASE), you must make sure the following parameters contain the correct arguments:

Hostname – See DNS Name in the Details tab; port #– appears by the hostname; username & password – the username and password you provided for the DB instance (also appears in Details tab); database – the name of the DB (NOT the instance name) to which you‘re trying to connect.

Now, more specifically, try the following code to connect your c# application to your xeround DB:

MySqlConnection con = new
  MySqlConnection("Server=instance28181.db.xeround.com;
  Port=18422;Database=salam;Uid=ayoya;Pwd=1233");

Good luck ;)
