[Mono-list] Recommended MySQL Data Provider?

The idea was to always return a dataset, even an empty one (in which 
case the title of the dataset would be the error message).  I guess it 
doesn't work as well as I'd hoped.

Well, that did show a new error:

"Keywork not supported.
Parameter name: direct"

It hadn't even occurred to me that I would need to change my connection 
string, which is the only place in my code that has the word "direct." 
I just tried a really simple one:

"Server=sername;Database=dbname;Uid=username;Pwd=password;"

But now all functions result in a "Thread was being aborted" error.
