[Mono-list] ByteFX.Data broken in Beta1?

[Artur Brodowski]

Hello,
I wanted to write simple MySQL app, but the code from
http://www.go-mono.com/mysql.html
doesn't work with Mono/mcs beta1:

using System;
using System.Data;
using ByteFX.Data.MySqlClient;
                                                                                public class Foo
{
    public static int Main(string [] args)
    {
        new Foo();
        return 0;
    }
    
    Foo()
    {
        string connString =
            "server=localhost;" +
            "database=database;" +
            "User ID=user;" +
            "Password=pass";
        IDbConnection dbh = new MySqlConnection(connString);
        dbh.Open ();
    
        if(dbh != null) {
            IDbCommand dbcmd = dbh.CreateCommand();
    
            string query = "SELECT NOW()";
            dbcmd.CommandText = query;
            Console.WriteLine((string) dbcmd.ExecuteScalar());
                                        
            dbcmd.Dispose();
            dbcmd = null;
            dbh.Close();
            dbh = null;
        }
    }
}

Afre compiling and running it returns:

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not

I found out that MySqlConnection method returns null value, which is
passed to dbh.Open(), and that of course raises exception. 
But why it behaves this way? I can login to mysql from command line
just fine, looks like this is driver issue...
