Description:
In CharSetMap.cs,  encoding name for UCS-2 is mapped as:

  mapping.Add( "uc2", "uc-2" );

It should be:

  mapping.Add( "ucs2", "UTF-16BE" );

The encoding name "ucs-2" (or "UTF-16LE") does not work correctly.
MySqlDataReader.GetString returns corrupted string.

I'm using mysql-connector-net-1.0.1-beta and  MySQL 4.1.7.

How to repeat:
CREATE DATABASE db CHARACTER SET ucs2
CREATE TABLE tbl (text CHAR(30))
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES ('****') 

and read values.

MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection("Database=db");
conn.Open();
MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand("SELECT * FROM tbl", conn);
MySqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while(reader.Read())
{
   string s = reader.GetString(0);
}
reader.Close();
conn.Close();
