Encoding name issue (no replies)

I'm using the .Net Connector 6.9.5 on a Windows RT app

The problem is on the Open connection command

string connStr = "server=localhost;user=root;database=world;port=3306;password=******;";
MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection(connStr);

conn.Open();

[error]
'Windows-1252' is not a supported encoding name.
Parameter name: name"
[/error]

Even if I set the CharSet to utf-8 (or utf8) ir return an error

If download 6.7.2 from here https://github.com/pdonald/mysql-connector-net you get the same error. So I change all Windows-1252 references to to utf-8 and it works

With that change I was able to connect, retrieve databases and tables but can't make a single SELECT to any table, on any database, on any server

I want to use 6.9.5

What can be wrong ?
