Description:
Hi..I am getting an error "The system detected an invalid pointer address in attempting to use a pointer argument in a call"

I  have a Visual Studio project that automatically connects to my mysql database when run. My project suppose to connect to database and display the data on my data grid when opened or executed. The connection was working before, but since yesterday I started getting issue. 

MySql workbench version is 6.2.2
Mysql Connector/net 6.9.3
MySQL server 5.1
Windows Visual Studio 2013
OS is Windows 8

any advice or solution is appreciated.. Thanks

How to repeat:
Install Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 8 64 bit OS
Install the full version of MySQL
Open Visual Studio 2013 and create a new project
Add the MySQL.Data.dll found in \MySQL\MySQL for Visual Studio 1.0.2\Assemblies\v4.0
Open Server Explorer
Choose MySQL Database as the data source and give right credentials
Click Test Connection button. 
Error message "The system detected an invalid pointer address in attempting to use a pointer argument in a call" will be displayed.

Suggested fix:
Tried uninstallation and Re-installation of applications. (no go)

connected
