Description:
At Delphi 2005 Prof: 

File --> New --> Windows Forms --> dragging "MySqlConnection" on Form --> Property "ConnectionString" contains "Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt." [German version of Delphi2005]
There's no possibility to set ConnectionString to a real connection string as proposed in some examples. 

When not using the MySqlConnection as Component but only at the source code, as e.g.:

var   msc : MySqlConnection;
  msc:=MySqlConnection.Create('...')

then the error doesn't occur!

How to repeat:
The error occurs every time using the MySqlConnection - Class

I was able to reproduce the bug on Delphi 8. Probably it is Deplhi 2005.
Property "ConnectionString" contains "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I tested on Microsoft Visual C# .NET - there is same result.

.Net c# 2003 - Windows Server 2003 as well, same steps as above.
