Description:
I am using MySql 5.0.45 with Net Connector 5.0.8.1 in Studio 2005.  I recently tried a query that return the contents of a DateTime column.  The actual value in the database was '0000-00-00 00:00:00'.  I made sure to use the connection option 'allow zero datetime = true'.  When I run my application and execute the query using either DataAdapter.Fill or MySqlCommand.ExecuteScalar, this is the value I get back = 'dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy h:mm:ss tt'

How to repeat:
Have a table with one record in it.  Have one of the columns be of type DateTime with the record having a value of 0000-00-00 00:00:00.  Then try and query the database for the value of the datetime column for that record.

Suggested fix:

A note has been added to the 5.0.9 and 5.1.4 changelogs: 

A date string could be returned incorrectly by MySqlDataTime.ToString() when the date returned by MySQL was 0000-00-00 00:00:00.
