Well, I think this has been fixed in the cvs but not in the realeased
tarball I thnk.
I recompiled mono with the following changes and it fixed the problem :
/root/mcs-1.0.4/class/corlib/System.Text/Encoding.cs (or wherever you
put the source files)
Near line 393, there's a line that says something like
Latin1Encoding.ISOLATIN_CODE_PAGE,
"iso_8859_1"
Juste change the second one for
Latin1Encoding.ISOLATIN_CODE_PAGE,
"iso_8859_1", "latin1"
And recompile, everything should be fine !
Have fun !
P.S. There's a bug-report with the correspond bugfix for this but I
haven't bookmarked it...

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a problem with the MySql library or with a
System library. But what appears to be happenning is that the Method MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.Open()
appears to be calling System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("latin1");
The reason I say this is that the error I get
when trying to open a database is:
Unhandled Exception: System.NotSupportedException:
Encoding name `latin1' not supported
in [0x000fe] (at
/opt/src2/mono-all/1.0.4/mcs-1.0.4/class/corlib/System.Text/Encoding.cs:446)
System.Text.Encoding:GetEncoding (string)
And indeed if I run just the line System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("latin1")
I get the same error of:
Unhandled Exception: System.NotSupportedException: Encoding name
`latin1' not supported
in [0x000fe] (at
/opt/src2/mono-all/1.0.4/mcs-1.0.4/class/corlib/System.Text/Encoding.cs:446)
System.Text.Encoding:GetEncoding (string)
Now I figure this is a problem either with System.Text or with the
Mysql.Data Library. But I can not tell unless I can find documentation
of whether or not System.Text should support the string value of
"latin1".
Does anyone know where the requirments for System.Text are kept?
In addition, apparently I will not be able to get this library to work
with my MySql database unless I change the language encoding. Does
anyone have any experience on which charchter set is common to both
DotNet and MySql?
Finally, does anyone know to Whom do I contact to see if I can be of
any help in the area of documentation?
Regards,
Joshua
