Codesmith problem

In my mechine i have installed Codesmith and when trying to connect to Mysql DB it is not allowed to access it. Basically it doesnt enable the connection establishing window.


Even if you mannually typethe connection string and click on 'Test' button it will say Mysql.data.dll not exist.

This is because of compatibility issue...

To sortout this.....:-)

So i had t installed earlier version. It also did not work. So copy 'MySql.Data.dll'
to bin folder of codesmith (C:\Program Files\CodeSmith\v5.0\bin). Mannaully type the connction string and test. Then it will works fine................................

So we commented such places with the descriptive comment . After merged the result code base has merged those phase 2 commented parts. Also there was some of already dead code in phase 1. So it is difficult to understand weather this is actual dead code or commented one from phase 2. Mistake Had left dead dead code and missing comments . Lesson learned Normally developers leave dead code in their original code with the mind of future purpose. But this not a good habit to continue.As long as you use source control ,earlier code may exist. Problem will occur if you are not using such version control. In such a situation you can keep dead code with des
