compile error: 'Error constructing instance of abstract class 'MySqlConnection'

[tgianmaria]

Installed MySQL Direct .NET 2.80 Std (single developer license) successfully, MySQL Server 4.1 (local), Delphi 8 Update 3, Cassini WebServer.

Creating a new ASP.Net Web Application: able to add components to a webform (MySqlConnection, MySqlDataAdapter, DataSet) and to get them working at design time (connection to database, data retrieving).

Trying to compile a project (from a simple blank form with a single MySqlConnection component to a CoreLab MySql Direct Delphi sample project) stops the compiler at the line generated by the designer (procedure InitializeComponent):

Self.MySqlConnection1 := CoreLab.MySql.MySqlConnection.Create;

with the message "Error constructing instance of abstract class 'MySqlConnection'".

Any other MySQL Direct component does not generate this error message (for example Self.MySqlCommand1 := CoreLab.MySql.MySqlCommand.Create; for a MySqlCommand).

Thanks for helping.

Version 3.00 works fine!
