I am getting the subject error message when I try to compile, using VS, a VB Forms app which I had been developing on a desktop machine but which I am now developing on a laptop. I am using exactly the same VS files as they are in Dropbox. (And incidentally I no longer have access to the desktop machine.)
The subject error message points to: Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient
I have been down this path before and can usually, eventually, resolve it by installing something and then creating a reference to the right dll. For me that's an iterative process as it's not always obvious, to me, what I need to install and which file needs to be referenced.
But the only help I am seeking from this groups is: What makes VS think that it needs "Version=6.8.3.0"? I am pretty certain that I never told it that it needed that version. And how can I change its mind so that it will compile using a different version?
I keep telling it to use
... but it doesn't like it and I don't know if the problem is that it's the wrong version or if the problem is that it doesn't contain the right stuff.
Thanks for whatever guidance anyone can offer.
Thanks, Bob
