MySQL ODBC fails in C# .NET project but not runtime compiled code

Question

I have a project in which I\'m accessing a MySql database on my web server via MySql ODBC driver 3.51. So far I\'ve stuck to writing the ASP.NET C# code for this web app in note

Answer 1

Upgrading to MySql ODBC 5.1 Driver seems to have fixed the issue. Just installed the latest driver and updated the connection string from 3.51 to 5.1 and viola, it worked. Odd why - but oh well. Mine is not to question why...
