[Mono-list] How do i tell Mono (for ASP.NET, C#) where to find MySQL.Data.MySqlClient

[steflik]

Robert,
I'ver built the web.config and done everything you said to but Mono 
still can't find MySql.Data.

I tried putting the MySql.Data.dll in the application /bin directory and 
that seems to work but the better way to do this would be via the 
web.config.

I'm trying to use Mono for an ASP.NET segment for a class I teach on web 
programming here at the University and I really hate to have each of the 
students place the .dll in their /bin directory.
