Description:
in .net DataSourceEnumerator class Provides GetDataSources() and CanCreateDataSourceEnumerator propetity to get running instances of MySQL server on local network. As per my knowledge this method is not impletented till now. So for programers point of view this is a very helpful method. 

How to repeat:
same as above

Suggested fix:
in next version implement this method .

This can be difficult to implement as mysql doesn't include any type of registration or browser service to enumerate the systems on the network.  We have an internal work item set for this so I am marking this bug report as to be fixed later.

Then in this version how we will get running instances of MySQL Server?
Is it possible using any different method? if yes then please tell me.
thanks.

not easily without being very unkind to your network.  essentially scanning every port.  you can also try the default names for shared memory and named pipes but the server could be using a custom name which would make it nearly impossible for you to find.
