title: Installing mysql.data.mysqlclient using mysql connector but no bin folder?
body: <p>I would like to connect to our remote mysql db using VB.NET but I'm having issues with installing a .dll file. I need to add mysql.data.mysqlclient reference but can't find bin folder containing .dll file. I did many google and stack overflow searches but haven't stumbled on any solutions.  </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I downloaded <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/6.0.html%20to%20my%20desktop" rel="nofollow">mysql connector</a></li>
  <li>Unzipped it</li>
  <li>Opened Visual Studio 2010 Express and created new project</li>
  <li>Under solutions explorer, right clicked to add reference</li>
  <li>Then browsed to unzipped mysql connector folder to find bin folder</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>This bin folder isn't anywhere to be found. I'm missing something, any help is appreciated.</p>
