How to resolve this issue
Could not load file or assembly 'MySql.Data, Version=6.3.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

The DLL either needs to be in the bin folder of the application (or in the same folder) or needs to be installed to the GAC.
Does the MySql DLL come with an installer?

This can also happen when the referenced DLL is built with a later version of .Net than the application that is calling it.
