VB.NET: The type initializer for 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient.Replication.ReplicationManager' threw an exception

Question

I don\'t know what may be wrong but that\'s what I get when I try to start the program:

The type initializer for MySql.Data.MySqlClient.Replication.ReplicationMana

Answer 1

I had the same error, but a different solution. First I tried the enable "SQL Server Debugging", but that didn't change anything (I still don't know why this setting would make a difference).

The solution for me was the user rights on the server. The application runs with the Task Scheduler under a user account. Only the domain of this user account was changed. So the MySQL Connection didn't have enough rights.
