Description:
There are two bugs in this case.  First, the CommandBuilder::CreateParameter does not handle unsigned fields, specifically ints that fill their system type size (e.g. int(10) fills a System.Int32 and unsigned overflows).  This cannot be corrected without fixing the second bug: the GetSchema does not keep the IsUnsigned field.

How to repeat:
Create a table with an int(10) field set to unsigned.  Use a MySqlDataAdapter tied to a MySqlCommandBuilder to read the data in, modify the int field to System.UInt32.MaxValue, then do an Update.  You should get a System.Overflow exception.

Suggested fix:
Add a column for the IsUnsigned field in the schema table.  Us it in the CommandBuilder::CreateSchema after creating the MySqlParameter to set IsUnsigned there.  Something like:
   p.IsUnsigned = (bool)row["IsUnsigned"];

Here are the diff's to add this, which I tested in my harness.  I do not know if this should also be done in other places or rolled into one or more of the MySqlParameter constructors for better performance/less data thrashing.  Cheers.
