Changes in MySQL Connector/NET 6.2.0 (2009-10-21, Alpha)

The first alpha release of 6.2.

Bugs Fixed

• When using a BINARY(16) column to represent a GUID and having specified “old guids = true” in the connection string, the values were returned correctly until a null value was encountered in that field. After the null value was encountered a format exception was thrown with the following message:

  Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx).

  (Bug #47928)

• The Session Provider created invalid “session expires” on a random basis.

  This was due to the fact that the Session Provider was incorrectly reading from the root web.config, rather than from the application specific web.config. (Bug #47815)

• When loading the MySQLClient-mono.sln file included with the Connector/NET source into Mono Develop, the following error occurred:

  /home/tbedford/connector-net-src/6.1/MySQLClient-mono.sln(22):
  Unsupported or unrecognized project:
  '/home/tbedford/connector-net-src/6.1/Installer/Installer.wixproj'

  If the file was modified to remove this problem, then attempting to build the solution generated the following error:

  /home/tbedford/connector-net-src/6.1/MySql.Data/Provider/Source/Connection.cs(280,46):
  error CS0115: `MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.DbProviderFactory' is marked as an
  override but no suitable property found to override

  (Bug #47048)
