Could not load file or assembly 'MySql.Data, Version=5.2.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken

Hi, I have an asp.net application on the local server. I had to make some changes to the code so i copied the website to my personal system and made the changes. I had to include mysql ado.net connector, as some retrieval needed to be done from mysql database. I installed mysql ado.net connector on my pc but haven't installed it on the server. Because of this , the asp.net site when deployed to server throws an error of an unrecognized assembly. Though , the solution is to install ado.net connector on the server... but i want to know if there is another way in which i only copy the dll file and it works (as is the case with windows application where dlls reside in bin folder)... Thanx in advance

I would expect that putting the dll in the bin directory is all you would need to do. Installing it probably puts it in the GAC, but I don't know why that would be necessary.
