Hello Friends,

I'm establishing a connection between ASP.NET and MySql. But i'm getting following error

ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Here i'm also providing my ConnectionString below

<connectionStrings>
<addname="ConnectionString"connectionString="Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};Server=localhost;Database=totalbhakti_new; uid=root;pwd=; />
</connectionStrings>

Actually MySql which is installed on my system is with PHP(using Wamp Server). Is that the reason behind throwing the error

I haven't got .NET 3.5 here at the moment, but I installed connector 3.51 and ran it fine with ASP.NET 2.0. I don't see having MySQL bundled with PHP as being an issue.
There are two things you could try.

A post here suggests that you may not need the Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}; part, but I'm not sure if that will fix it.

A better idea would be to download the new MySQL driver written specifically for .NET 3.5. You can download it here and see the docs here.
