What's worked for me is... 1. Copy the file to /bin of the project. 2. Add the reference to that file to your project. 3. In the reference part of your project, set "Copy Local" to true (if it isn't already).

FWIW, on your other question re: the new connector - those other DLLs look like they're there to support Entity Framework and Visual Studio integration. See if there's a README in the archive that says what each one is for; MySql.Data.dll should be the ADO.NET provider.

I have downloaded the Connector/Net 5.2.7 provider. I have tried putting it into the /bin directory. I have run sudo gacutil -i MySql.Data.dll and got the message Installed MySql.Data.dll into the gac (/usr/lib/mono/gac). I have put in the Web.config file. I put on the code-behind page using MySql.Data;. And still I keep getting the message The type or namespace name 'MySql' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?. Obviously I must me missing something, and quite likely something very basic! I'm used to doing VB.NET ASP.NET with a MS SQL Server database and a lot of this is set up by our System Administrator so please, don't assume I know to do anything. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/Cannot-find-MySQL-Namespace-tp3453402p3453402.html Sent from the Mono - ASP.NET mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Mono-aspnet-list mailing list Mono-aspnet-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-aspnet-list _______________________________________________ Mono-aspnet-list mailing list Mono-aspnet-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-aspnet-list
