Peter,
OK, I've read the documentaion on Mono Assemblies and the GAC and feel
reasonably comfortable with it. One thing it doesn't say is "what an
assembly is" I guess I know that a .dll an be an assembly but are
there other things that are assemblies?
When I put the .dll (MtSql.Data.dll in ny application /bin directory,
everything works OK ; but when I remove it and put the reference in
web.config (just like Robert said to the compiler can't find it.

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
