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................................

Actually, you would need to install the MySQL .NET Data Provider which would install to the GAC and then everything would work as expected.
