NHibernate Profiler does not show query plan

Question

My application uses NHibernate to connect to a MySQL database. The profiling works fine, but the links at the bottom ("See the x row(s) resulting from this statement" and "Query plan for this statement") do not work. When I click on the query plan statement, nothing happens. When I click on the "See x rows" link, a new window is opened that does not display anything. When I click on "Edit Connection" and select the correct MySQL connection string, I get the following error: "could not find connection type mysql.data.mysqlclient.mysqlconnection" What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

The problem is that NHibernate Profiler does not know the path to MySql.Data.dll and therefore cannot show the results or the query plan. The solution is very simple. In the Edit Connection window, you have to select the MySql.Data.dll file by clicking on Browse. After selecting it, click on OK and everything works fine.
