I am having the same problem however it does not appear to be the result of an errant datetime value.
Here is the code and the complete table to recreate the problem. Sorry for pasting such a large table but the error seems to not always fail on the same row so I thought I better provide it all.

Six of us hiked there yesterday and it took, from leaving top of Ruined Castle, about 30 - 45 mins - depending on fitness level.

For the Big Air, a heap of snow had been pushed up outside Swindlers to make a reasonable sized jump - the only problem being heavy ice leading to rock hard landings and a few injuries - some competitors pulled out because of these conditions. But both events were well organised and the general feel of the comps positive, the results were: 1st place for the Women, Emily Thomas from NSW; Sasha Ryzy 2nd place and 3rd our Karen Lyons from Victoria. With the Mens, we had John Fletcher, NSW taking out the overall 1st, 2nd Kym Christiansen from Norway representing Victoria. 3rd place was shared equally between Chris Coulter from USA representing Victoria and local Hotham rider Tony Graham. <BR> <BR>Tonight [Wednesday 30th] back at Falls all the locals are clutching their tickets and moving to The Man at 8.30 to see the popular band GROOVE TERMINATORS accompanied by ENDORPHIN - it\'ll be a good one with everyone charging!! <BR> <BR>Conditions have been snowy at Falls and at Hotham with mainly light snow for the last couple of weeks with an occasional sunny break.

Dear Sir, Can you attach the dumpfile to the bug report? If it's over 200k you can put it on ftp.mysql.com using the anonymous account and just let me know the name of the file. It got cut off in your paste. Best Regards

Hi, I verified this using the latest ByteFX release from the bytefx website and mysql 4.1.3. Console.WriteLine( clReader.GetValue(4) ) This prints an empty string instead of "0000-00-00" when the column actually contains all zeroes. Best Regards

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been committed to our
source repository of that product and will be incorporated into the
next release.
If necessary, you can access the source repository and build the latest
available version, including the bugfix, yourself. More information
about accessing the source trees is available at
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Installing_source_tree.html
Additional info:
This was fixed by returning a MySqlDateTime object (new) from GetValue when the underlying column type is datetime. The reason this is necessary is that MySQL allows zeros in a datetime column but .NET (and Java) can't hold a zero value in a datetime object. In order for generic .ToString() to work, a different object had to be used.
Also check out the RoundZeroDateTime connection string option for how to handle converting MySqlDateTime to DateTime.
Description: When a database column of type time contains the value "00:00:00", the DataReader returns this value as DbNull. How to repeat: using ByteFX.Data.MySqlClient; using System; using System.Data; using System.Threading; namespace DBTester { /// <summary> /// Summary description for Class1. /// </summary> class Class1 { /// <summary> /// The main entry point for the application. /// </summary> [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { MySqlConnection clConnection = new MySqlConnection( "Data Source=localhost;User ID=root;Database=dbtest" ); MySqlCommand clCommand = new MySqlCommand(); string sCommand = "SELECT * FROM testtable"; MySqlDataReader clReader; try { clCommand.Connection = clConnection; // Get data from the database. clConnection.Open(); clCommand.CommandText = sCommand; clReader = clCommand.ExecuteReader(); while( clReader.Read() ) { Console.WriteLine( clReader.GetValue(0) ); Console.WriteLine( clReader.GetValue(1) ); Console.WriteLine( clReader.GetValue(2) ); Console.WriteLine( clReader.GetValue(3) ); } clReader.Close(); clConnection.Close(); Console.WriteLine("Data updated successfully."); } catch( Exception ex ) { Console.WriteLine(ex.Message); clConnection.Close(); } Console.ReadLine(); } } } /* create table testtable ( id int unsigned auto_increment not null, name varchar(255) not null, salary float not null, start time not null, primary key( id ) ); insert into testtable values( null, "Dave", 9.55, "00:00:00" ); */ Suggested fix: The value should be returned as "00:00:00".
