Description:
To be consistent with the .NET framework DateTime class, as well as the SqlClient's DateTime type, it would be nice if the MySQL type would be cased the same (capital 'D' and 'T').

The entire library should follow Microsoft .NET design guidelines.

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
It might be too late to make this change, but .NET allows multiple enums to have the same underlying value, so this *could* be introduced without breaking existing code. However, it might confuse users as to which they should use (even though they are both the same).

Connector 5.2.4 or 5.2.5 -- the vs2008 designer keeps inserting Datetime rather than DateTime and thus this warning...

warning CS0618: 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDbType.Datetime' is obsolete: 'The Datetime enum value is obsolete.  Please use DateTime.'

Is this a problem on my machine?  I've had previous versions installed and uninstalled. -- My previous version was 5.1.2
