Thanks for your bug report. Yes, Connector/NEt Internally uses System.Net.Security.SslStream to create the SSL channel. This class doesn't exist in .NET Compact.

Thank you for your reply. Is there anyway to use SSL to encrypt the connection to a MySQL database in .NETCF?

Any ideas?

The third party library BouncyCastle has support for TLS (SSL) streams, it will take a while before it is shipped with Connector/NET (if is shipped) due to legal clearance having to be done. Meanwhile I will try to post some sample code, you can include it yourself.

Fernando, Do you have any sample code on how the Bouncy Castle classes are implemented with the .NET connector? Thanks

Hi, I am no longer in Connector/NET team, I will redirect this to one of the current team members.

Framework not supported.
Description: When I use "SSL Mode=Required" in my .NET Compact Framework connection string, I get a TypeLoadException whenever I try to use that connection on the device. In the emulator, I get the following error: "Keyword not supported. Parameter name: SSL Mode" As soon as I remove the SSL Mode parameter, everything works fine. Note that I have tried in both .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and 3.5. Also, I've tried using a SSL Mode in previous versions of the MySQL connector with the same error results. How to repeat: MySQL server 5.5 (x86) / Visual Studio 2008 / VB.NET / CF 2.0 SP2 / Connector/NET 6.8.3 Private test_conn As MySqlConnection = New MySqlConnection("server="testserver";user id=testuser;password=testpass;SSL Mode=Required;Connect Timeout=15;pooling=True;Max Pool Size=2;port=37475;persist security info=True;use procedure bodies=False;database=testtable")
