Thanks for the explanation. I would like to see this special cased in the code and even provide a more detailed error message in this condition than just the barebones error that we get from Reflection.Load and explicitly state something like: "The MySQL provider is not installed in the GAC, you can get it from ..." We do things like this with mcs which suggests things like -pkg: -r: and even namespaces to include in the source.
