See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

if i install this (ThesisCapstoneProject) in my old pc where i developed the app, its working fine. but in my new fresh pc, i got this error.

Answer 1

Have you got the dll-File in your application directory? Maybe the two computers have a different system (x86 vs. x64). A dll-File is for x86 or x64 and not for both. You can also set a compile-option in your Visual Studio if you want to compile for "any", x86 or x64.

Answer 2

Add this 2 files.

1. System.Web.Extensions.Design.dll

2. System.Web.Extensions.dll

And it should be done, Also be sure to change the Select Platform to .NET

Take a look here

Answer 3

You need to have MySQL and/or a MySQL Connector driver installed. Here is the link for the ODBC Connector.

Connector/ODBC is a standardized database driver for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and Unix platforms.

Answer 4

Check your references, I'm not sure what IDE you are using but with visual studio 2012 it is in the Solution explorer under references. select the MySQL object and look at the properties it is probably because the .NET 4.5 is referencing a newer version. just un-install the old version of MySQL.Data and add the correct version, from your error it looks like you need to have MySQL.Data Version=6.8.3.0 installed.
