Hi,
I am new to development, so I tried to setup a new website, I had to start using mySQL, having looked around I was able to download the .NET Connectors for MySQL for VS2010 and I am able to successfully configure the users, roles, membership, etc through ASP.NET Configuration Utility, HOWEVER everytime I run the website (this is with no development just a blank default page with MySQL as security provider, i get an error message as follows
<-- ERROR MESSAGE BEGIN --
