Peter,
Thanks for butting in; answering your questions:
First: I think the GAC is kinda like the Windows registry in that it
allows me to make use of Windows dynamic link libraries that haven't
been written to us windows specific APIs
Second: Focusing only on ASP.NET it searches for a referenced assembly
in web.config then in the application /bin director or vice versa; or
is there somthing else happening?.
Third: this is pretty vague to me
When I look in the GAC using gacutil I can see everything that has been
registered but I don't see anything that says where the assemblies are
physically located.
Explanations would be helpful, I'm trying to get this running for a
class I'm teaching and would really hate to have many copies of the
.dll laying around in the /bin directories of the student applications.
Most of my experience has been with Tomcat, JBoss, JSPs, servlets and
Java Web Services and am trying to give unbiased coverage to PHP and
ASP.NET. The similaritiest between ASP.NET with C# and Java Server
Pages and servlets is quite uncanny.
Thanks for being patient.

Dick,
I'm sorry to butt in, but I noticed things looked as though they might
start recursing. Infinitely, possibly :)
First up: do you understand what the GAC is?
Second: do you understand how the .NET Framework searches for referenced
assemblies?
Third: do you understand what strongly named assemblies are, and how you
refer to them (i.e. with their strong name)?
If you have a problem with any of these, perhaps we should take a step
back and explain some of those things first. If you already understand
all that stuff, please just ignore me and I promise I'll go away.

Thanks for the patience but I got the same result. If the
MySql.Data.dll
isn't in the /bin directory the compuiler can't find it. This may
sound
stupid but what directory shoiuld the .dll be in?
In the GAC (Global Assembly Cache), see (1) below.

Hi,
Here we go:
1) install MySql.Data into the GAC:
gacutil -i MySql.Data.dll
2) obtain MySql.Data's assembly name:
gacutil -l MySql.Data
The output should look like this (in one line), but
your version might be different:
MySql.Data, Version=1.0.7.30073, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=8e323390df8d9ed4
3) create "web.config":
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true">
<assemblies>
<!-- insert *your* assembly name -->
<add assembly="MySql.Data, Version=1.0.7.30073,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8e323390df8d9ed4" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
</system.web>
<configuration>
4) create a demo page "demo.aspx"
<%@ Page %>
<%@ Import namespace="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" %>
<script runat="server">
void Page_Load (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// test whether we can create a dummy connection
MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection ();
}
</script>
<html>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Robert,
I'ver built the web.config and done everything you said to but Mono
still can't find MySql.Data.
I tried putting the MySql.Data.dll in the application /bin directory
and
that seems to work but the better way to do this would be via the
web.config.
I'm trying to use Mono for an ASP.NET segment for a class I teach on
web
programming here at the University and I really hate to have each of
the
students place the .dll in their /bin directory.

Hi,
You have to create web.config in the directory of the ASP.NET
application. Have a look at the test site that that gets
installed into $prefix/lib/xsp/test.
MySql.Data.MySqlClient is just a namespace. The assembly is
MySql.Data.

Robert,
I'm new at this, where do I find the web.config file, I've been
looking
around and it isn't obvious. Also, my the impot that is failing
is
"import MySql.Data.MySqlClient"; is that the assembly you are
referring to?

How do I do this for ASP.NET using C#.
I'm using Mono on FC5 with Apache and Mono 1.1.17....
Copy the MySql assembly into the bin folder of your ASP.NET app
or install the assembly into the GAC and specify the assembly
name
in the web.config:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation>
<assemblies>
<add assembly="MySql.Data, Version=x.x.x.x, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=...."/>
</assemblies>
</compilation>
</system.web>
</configuration>
You can obtain the full assembly name with
gacutil -l | grep MySql
