Description:
By looking at the source for the MySqlParameter class, it looks like there was a cut-and-paste error at lines 422-423 (MySqlParameter.SetTypeFromValue()):

case TypeCode.Int64: SetDbType( DbType.UInt64 ); break;
case TypeCode.UInt64: SetDbType( DbType.UInt64 ); break;

Unless there is a deeper reason that Int64s are troubling, it looks like this is a simple code error, and this is the only one transposed in the SetTypeFromValue() method.

How to repeat:
Attempt to create a MySqlParameter as follows:

long x = long.MinValue;
MySqlParameter param = new MySqlParameter("myparamname", x);
someCommand.Parameters.Add(param);
someCommand.ExecuteXYZ();

This results in an error attempting to convert the negative Int64 to a UInt64.

Suggested fix:
case TypeCode.Int64: SetDbType( DbType.Int64 ); break;
case TypeCode.UInt64: SetDbType( DbType.UInt64 ); break;

A temporary workaround would be to set the DbType manually in code after setting up the parameter as shown.
