Description:
We're running a MySQL cluster (ndb-7.0.8) on Windows Server 2003. We had a node fail and upon updating our connection string to point to another node in the cluster, we got the following error:

System.IndexOutOfRangeException
Message="There is no row at position 0."
Source="System.Data"
StackTrace:
  at System.Data.RBTree`1.GetNodeByIndex(Int32 userIndex)
  at System.Data.RBTree`1.get_Item(Int32 index)
  at System.Data.DataRowCollection.get_Item(Int32 index)
  at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.StoredProcedure.Resolve()
  at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior behavior)
  at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand.ExecuteDbDataReader(CommandBehavior behavior)
  ...

After some investigation, I found this relavent bug: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=20938

We have since created the stored procedures on every node in the cluster and solved the original problem, but I believe the connector is not properly handling the error from the cluster node. I expected a message saying that a stored procedure could not be found on the server.

Connection string in use:
Database=<databaseName>;Server=<hostip>;User Id=<username>;Password=<secret>;use procedure bodies=false

How to repeat:
To reproduce:
- Set up a mysql cluster > 1 node. Create a table with a simple Stored procedure to get all records from that table -- but create this stored procedure on only 1 node.
- Write a simple .NET program that uses the mysql .NET connector to call the stored procedure.
- Test on each node in the cluster. 
- On nodes that do not have the stored procedure defined, see the above error.

This may also be the case if there is no cluster and the SP is simply missing.

Suggested fix:
Expected Behavior: A mysql error message saying the procedure is not defined and not an IndexOutOfRangeException. (If possible, can we make note that the stored procedure must be defined on every node in the cluster if we can tell it's a cluster node?)

Correction: the mysql cluster was running on a Linux server, the .NET program that was attempting to use the cluster was running on Windows Server 2003 or Windows Vista (SP2).

I went all the back to 5.1.0 and tried to reproduce this.  I had my mysqld on ubuntu 9.10 with my client prog on windows 7 x64.  I got a mysql exception with proper message.  Please explain how to reproduce this.
