Problem with VB.NET using MySql .NET Connector
-
Hello all,I'm facing problem with applying the MySql.Data.dll file in Reference of my VS 2003. When I try to add in,I saw a prompup and show this Error Message:
A reference to' C:\Documents and Setting\Visual Studio Projects\Test\MySql.Data.dll' could not be added. This is not a valid assembly or COM component. Only assemblies with extention 'dll' and COM components can be referenced. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.
Anyone could guide me how to solve this problem? Thanks for reading~! Regards Drexler

Thanks everyone for reading,I found the problem and solution for my post here. Just to share with someone who need it in the future,the following are what I found:
VS .NET 2003 doesn't support MySql 5.0/5.1 .NET Connector. The only connector supported is 1.0 .NET Connector which is the most earliest version of tools build by MySql to linkup with VS.NET 2003.Thanks for everyone effort and hope this helps you all there in the future. Regards Drex
