Please help me to solve my problem.

You are saying it's a MySQL database .. and the connection string that you gave is "Server=localhost;Database=testcase;Integrated Security=SSPI"

As far as I'm aware.. mysql connection strings have port 3306 and some other format.

Have a look at http://www.connectionstrings.com/ for detailed connection strings for various databases.

Also, I am assuming that you are sure that the MySQL Server is running on your computer - it is usually mysqld.

I guess this is because you are executing reader before attaching paramater to command object. Try this

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    { 
        try 
        { 
            SqlConnection myConn1 = new SqlConnection("Server=localhost;Database=testcase;Integrated Security=SSPI"); 
            SqlCommand myCmd1 = new SqlCommand("select casename,skey from casetype where skey=?", myConn1); 
            myConn1.Open();
String type = DropDownList3.SelectedItem.Text; 
            myCmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("?", type); 
            SqlDataReader myReader1 = myCmd1.ExecuteReader(); 

        } 
        catch (Exception exw) 
        { 
            Response.Write(exw.StackTrace); 
        } 

    } 

You are executing before adding value.

--EDIT--

After your updated question.

Try, following:

string type = DropDownList3.Items[DropDownList3.SelectedIndex].Text;
string commandText = "select casename,skey from casetype where skey=@key;";
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("Server=localhost;Database=testcase;Integrated Security=SSPI"))
{
    SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(commandText, connection);
    command.Parameters.Add("@key", SqlDbType.Text); //Same as System.String
    command.Parameters["@key"].Value = type ; //Value from your text box!
    //command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@key", type);

    try
    {
        connection.Open();
        Int32 rowsAffected = command.ExecuteNonQuery();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }

}

Looks like MySql does not like "SSPI" or "sspi". I tried "true" and it works.

    <add name="ConnStr" providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"
    connectionString="server=localhost;port=3306;database=myDb;Integrated Security=true;"/>
