Description:
The MySqlConnection.ConnectionString property documentation does not specify what legal keys and values may be used in making the connection string.  One must read the source to determine which values are used in the connection string.

How to repeat:
-Open mysql.data help
-Expand mysql.data.client
-expand MySqlConnection class
-expand Properties
-select ConnectionString Property

There is no documentation as to what goes into the connection string.

Suggested fix:
Document the allowable contents of the connection string - what the keys are and what values they should have (including their defaults).

This information has now been added to the C/NET documentation (the entire reference and example sections have been added based on the package documentation).
