When entering credentials into the Add Connection dialogue box to connect to a MYSQL
server.  A database name containing capitalized letters (eg: test_DB) will freeze the Add
Connection diaglogue box and Visual Studio along side it.

How to repeat:
Create a dummy Database name with capitalized letters (eg: test_DB)

(1) Open Server Explorer
(2) Click Data on 'Connect To Database' icon
(3) Ensure that Selected 'Data Source' is MYSQL DB
(4) Enter logon credentials, (with capitalized DB name)

No fix

Hi Mark and thanks for your problem report. I was able to verify it partially on my WinXP
Pro SP2 with latest c/NET (5 and 1) and NET FW 2.0. There are some things that need
looking into.

Server version: 5.0.27-log Source distribution
mysql> create database testCL;
mysql> create database test_UCL;
mysql> create database Mix_test_UCL;
mysql> create database MixTestUCl;
----
Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: 4.1.22-log
mysql> create database testCL;
mysql> create database test_UCL;
mysql> create database Mix_test_UCL;
mysql> create database MixTestUCl;

Plugin with MySQL server 5.0.X and both c/NET 5 and 1 gives correct result.
Plugin with MySQL server 4.1.X and both c/NET 5 and 1 gives *incorrect* result as shown on
pictures attached.

Summary: Plugin shows null(null) instead of ServerName(database) when attaching to 4.1.x
server. However, you can view tables etc...

I was able to crash VS2005 Pro *just once* during this testing but I think it was internal
VS problem as it doesn't show anymore. 

General log:

Thanks Tonchi,

Please note that I am currently access MYSQL Server 4.0.27 remotely w/CNET 5.0.2.  (ie:
the Servername is just an IP address)

I had no issues connecting to the DB via 3.51.14 ODBC. I've re-tested and my Add
Connection Dialogue box still freezes like clockwork.

Mev, I'm sorry I misspelled your name, probably due to working on several issues at
once...
