An entry has been added to the 6.0.7, 6.1.5, 6.2.4, and 6.3.3 changelogs: The MySqlHelper object did not have an overloaded version of the ExecuteReader method that accepted a MySqlConnection object.

Description: The MySqlHelper object does not have an overloaded version of the ExecuteReader method which accepts a MySqlConnection object (instead of a connectionString string). To my knowledge all the other "helper methods" have this overload. How to repeat: If you code in a similar code block to the one shown below, when you attempt to compile the code you will receive a compile-time error due to there being no implementation of the method. using (MySqlDataReader reader = MySqlHelper.ExecuteReader(DatabaseConnection, query)) { while (reader.Read()) { // Checks to make sure we don't get a NULL localeCode if (reader.IsDBNull(0)) locales.Add(reader.GetString(0)); } } /* Variable declarations (for the bug report) List<string> locales; string query; MySqlConnection DatabaseConnection; */ Suggested fix: If possible, an overloaded implementation of the MySqlHelper.ExecuteReader method would be nice. I've been working around the issue by replacing the beginning of my using block with using (MySqlDataReader reader = new MySqlCommand(query, DatabaseConnection).ExecuteReader())
