title: MySQL connector 6.3.5 with .NET 3.5
body: <p>I am developing a project in Visual Studio 2010 on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine. I have been able to successfully connect to a local MySQL database without any issues.</p>
  
  <p>However, if I try to change the target framework to .NET 3.5, I am having problems referencing the <code>MySql.Data</code> DLL. I can see it fine when the target framework is .NET 4.0.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any idea why I can't use it with .NET 3.5? Does it have to do with the version of the MySQL connector?</p>
  
  <p>When I try to add a reference to <code>MySql.Data</code>, I get the following error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><em>'MySql.Data', or one of its dependencies, requires a later version of the .NET framework than the one specified in the project.</em></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have the most recent version of the MySQL connector and it doesn't say anything about a specific version of the .NET framework.</p>
