Robert,
Yes, I have and when I look in the GAC using gacutil it says that it is there. Was I supposed to do something with the -package option on the gacutil command when I put it onto the GAC (I followed the direction on the MySql site and your instructions)?

Did you install the assembly into the GAC as already told
a few times? :-)

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
