Description:
MySqlCommand.BeginExecuteReader does not currently have an overload that takes a AsyncCallback and object user-state. This is not consistent with the Asynchronous Programming Model guidelines in .NET and also not consistent with MySqlCommand.BeginExecuteNonQuery.

It also make this method less useful in truly async scenarios such as ours.

How to repeat:
None needed.

Suggested fix:
Add an overload that takes a AsyncCallback and object user-state.

Hello Bassam and thanks for your report.

I do agree with you but this is actually a feature request, no matter how it affects you or your code. Could you please lower the severity so I can verify it?

Also, I have already brought this problem before c/NET team leader.

Lowered Severity per request.

Thanks for your reasonable feature request Bassam. We should be hearing from Reggie regarding this problem soon.

Verified just like described by looking into latest sources.

Created worklog to implement this.  Should be implemented either in 6.0 or 6.1

I need this, please!
I can't make my web site scale with async responses if mysql doesn't support it.
