Bug #28328	wrong type of charset in connector .NET
Submitted:	9 May 2007 7:38	Modified:	12 Jun 2007 9:48
Reporter:	ilias iliadis	Email Updates:
Status:	Duplicate	Impact on me:	None
Category:	Connector / NET	Severity:	S1 (Critical)
Version:		OS:	Windows
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	sql command to create table

Description:
connector can not find field name (because of wrong charset internally used?
).
It returns column names in some other charset than field values (which are correct)

How to repeat:
create database and table in mysql 5.0.x
with attached (in the next message) sql text file
use vb.net express edition to create a connection and then use 
the attached (in the next message) code to view in console the returned strings.
text was too big to be included here

sql to create database table:

Hi Ilias and thanks for your report. What is your c/NET and NET FW version?

No feedback was provided for this bug for over a month, so it is
being suspended automatically. If you are able to provide the
information that was originally requested, please do so and change
the status of the bug back to "Open".

Hi Ilias. I still need the information requested...

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments to the original bug instead.

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.

Explanation: This is a duplicate of Bug#25385. Seems the problem is related to computer configuration as Reggie is unable to reproduce it.

Sorry for the delay but since connector couldn't be used I returned to the good old vb 6.00 with ado and for some test projects i now use ado.net
The mysql server was in an ubuntu server
The connector was an XP SP2 proffessional Greek. (and was the latest version at that moment)
Nothing to do with the computer configuration since none of the other approaches (ado.net with vb.net or adodb with vb6.00) has the same problem.
