I have performed all the diffrent tweeks I can find, but I still get Could not load file or assembly ‘MySql.Data, Version=6.3.7.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d’ or one of its dependencies. The located assembly’s manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
I have two Databases one for Microsoft which gets accessed first and one for my data. When I go to mine it fails. here is what I have in my web.Config with user and passwords removed

I am truely at at a loss we are thinking that what is happening is VS2010 is actually downgrading the published Manifest reference to the last supported version of the control (6.3.7). Not sure if that is by tie back reference to MySQL, or something embedded in the IDE. But it is Visual Studio that is introducing the 6.3.7 reference on the web site that is causing all the headaches.
So it looks like maybe I have to remove all the references to 6.4.4.0?
I in fact had this same exact problem… Your web.config is different looking than mine though… It was acting the same very way… Make sure the references have the right version number listed under the reference section in vs… After that the only thing it can be is the web.config… This web config is mine and it is what fixed the issue with it trying to use a older version of mysql.data …
This is the only thing I could think of…
