There are different versions of our provider for .NET Framework 1.x and for .NET Framework 2.0.
Make sure that you use MySQLDirect .NET for .NET Framework 2 (file name is 'mysqlnet2.msi').

If you have installed MySQLDirect for .NET Framework 2.0 check if you can use our provider without design-time (for example, create simple console application and connect to server).

Note that design components are available only in design-time (in WinForms editor).

You mention the use of mySQL Direct .NET in Winforms. Can these components be used in ASP.NET, as I'm seeing greyed-out components in the toolbox (design view) of VWD Beta 2, as described in an earlier post.

Many thanks

In Visual Studio2005 there is another designer for non-visual components. Use 'View Component designer' command in .aspx file context menu in 'Solution Explorer 'window.
