Description:
I'm implementing MySQL managed extension to our Phalanger .NET PHP compiler (http://php-compiler.net) and missing some features from MySQL Connector.
The main problem is how to get field flags (MySQL C function mysql_field_flags) from data reader. When I look to your source codes, it seems to be sufficient to make ColumnFlags enumeration public and add method GetFieldFlags to MySqlDataReader as follows:

public sealed class MySqlDataReader : ...
{
  ...
  public ColumnFlags GetFieldFlags(int i)
  {
    return fields[i].Flags;
  }
  ...	
}

Please, could you consider adding this method?
Thanks.

Correction: there is no mysql_field_flags C function in the native client, I meant PHP function mysql_field_flags.

Is there anybody reading the requests?

Sorry this one got missed.  You need to be using MySqlDatareader.GetSchemaTable to get this information.
