+Hi!
+
+I thought, that this is a ByteFX DataAdapter problem. 
+The signs were the same: I cannot Fill DataSet through 
+MySqlDataAdapter, if records contains NULL values.
+
+I checked mono-1.0 System.Data library source and found, that
+it is inconsistent in DBNull and null value usage and
+DataContainer is inconsistent in checking DBNull before trying
+e.g. to GetDateTime from record.
+The library source doesnt propagate the InvalidCastException in 
+normal way, but raises FillError event with attached exception code.
+That is why the source of error is not consistent.
+
+I attached two patches, which work for me.
+
+I am new in Bugzilla, so I hope I didnt made mistakes :-)
