Description:
Tested on:
MySql version: 5.0.24
Connector/Net 5.0.3
.Net 2.0
Windows XP SP2

SELECT does not work properly when WHERE contains UTF-8 string.

How to repeat:
string conString = "Database=test; Data Source=localhost;" +
"User Id=root;Password=;CharSet=utf8";
MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection(conString);
con.Open();

MySqlCommand command = new MySqlCommand("SELECT id FROM table1 WHERE value = ?parameter", con);
command.Parameters.Add("?parameter", MySqlDbType.VarString);
command.Parameters[0].Value = "šđč枊ĐČĆŽ";

//throws NullReferenceException, should return 1 (id of šđč枊ĐČĆŽ):
MessageBox.Show(command.ExecuteScalar().ToString());

Tomislav,

Are you using pooling?  If so, that can be it because we recently fixed a problem where connections retrieved from the pool were not getting their encoding set back up properly in some cases.  Try turning pooling off and see if that fixes it.    

The fix that I mentioned will be in 5.0.4

I added Pooling=false to my connection string (I think that is how I should turn the pooling off). That did not solve the problem. I still get the same result.
The same code works fine with Connector/Net 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 (RC) with pooling on and off.
