Copy the MySql assembly into the bin folder of your ASP.NET app
or install the assembly into the GAC and specify the assembly name
in the web.config:

<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation>
<assemblies>
    <add assembly="MySql.Data, Version=x.x.x.x, Culture=neutral, 
PublicKeyToken=...."/>
</assemblies>
</compilation>
</system.web>
</configuration>

You can obtain the full assembly name with

gacutil -l | grep MySql
