@andreazevedo where could I download the connector?

Could not find "Devart.Data.MySql.NHibernate.NHibernateMySqlConnection" and "Devart.Data.MySql.NHibernate.NHibernateMySqlCommand" classes in Devart.Data.MySql.dll

Are you sure that this is not a mistake?

[andreazevedo]

Try this:

  <runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <qualifyAssembly partialName="Devart.Data.MySql" fullName="Devart.Data.MySql, Version=7.2.77.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=09af7300eec23701" />

The great advantage of this provider is that it supports Distributed Transactions on MySql.

[hazzik]

Ok, I've found these classes but in "Trial" distribution, but in "Express" these classes is not presented....

[andreazevedo]

@hazzik hmm, you're right. Sorry for that, I use the paid version as I need distributed transactions.
I just found this editions page: http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/mysql/editions.html

It is odd that they list a feature such as "NHibernate support" - what would be so special with NHibernateMySqlConnection etc? One would think that "NHibernate support" should rather imply that they provide a an NHibernate driver in the package.

[oskarb]

Hmm, I still don't know what is speciall about NHibernateMySqlConnection, but I suppose one conceivable reason for them to not provide the driver class is that they want to avoid actually depending on NHibernate.
