I've had no problems using the MySql Connector/Net under Mono, in the package
available from the MySql site
(http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/1.0.html) there are separate
binaries for .Net 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, and for Mono. I tend to use the .Net 2.0
binary actually, and that (for me at least) actually works fine when developing
an app on Windows, running on .Net 2.0, and then deploying it on Linux, using
the .Net 2.0 profile within the latest version of Mono (1.1.13).
And seeing as how, like you said, the MySql Connector is in fact a continuation
of the ByteFX provider, then I would use that, as I'd consider the ByteFX
provider to be deprecated now.
Cheers,
Elliott

There seems to be ByteFX.
The problem is that, the last time i tried to use it, it completely
failed to connect to the server (mono 1.1.11 in Suse). I was even
starting to doubt the server was really accepting conections until i
tried the MySql's Connector/Net for Ms.NET, which worked.
Now, i'm on another system with mono 1.1.13 and, this time, ByteFX seems
to be working but i don't know if i should trust it to work on all of my
intended users's systems (most of them probably Windows).
On the other hand, MySql's Connector/Net for Ms.NET is the
�continuation� of ByteFX but i'm not completely sure if i
should trust
MySql's Connector/Net for Ms.NET since it may have problems working with
mono.

Reggie, I understand you actually brought Connector/Net with you when
joining MySQL AB?
Reggie: Yes. I developed the original ByteFX connector, which was
acquired by MySQL in April '04. It was renamed to Connector/Net,

Can anyone give some insight on this?
Sorry if this is asked alot but i don't find usefull information
regarding this.
