Description:
Create new C# project and click References/Add Reference. MySQL.Data is not shown. This leads to all sorts of problems as you can imagine.

Environment:
  o VS2008Pro on Win2K8x64 box.
  o MySQL connector/NET 6.0.2 full install via MSI (MD5 checksum correct)
  o Plug-in functioning, ie. Server Explorer shows everything just fine from my remote MySQL server 5.1.31 on OpenSolaris x64 box.

Now there appears to be two possible problems:
  o VS2008 Help/About shows .NET FW 3.5 SP1 while c/NET might be registered in 2.0
  o c/NET 5.2.5 on x64 windows box was in "Program Files" while 6.0.2 is in "Program Files(x86)"
--cut--
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Version 9.0.30729.1 SP
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 3.5 SP1

Installed Edition: Professional

MySQL Connector/Net   6.0.2

--cut--

Now, only copy of MySQL.Data is in windir\assembly, while none is found in windir\Microsoft.NET (neither in x86 nor in x64, for neither 2.0 nor 3.5 FW).

An entry was added to the 6.0.3 changelog:

MySQL.Data was not displayed as a Reference inside Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional.

When a new C# project was created in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional, MySQL.Data was not displayed when References, Add Reference was selected.

I just installed version 6.03 in VS20005 and the MySQL.data reference is still missing.
Any workarounds?

After removing any old references, restart , adding the reference back in it works :)
