My Hosting company have change its policy and now they are not supporting full trust. So I am no longer able to connect to my Mysql database using Asp.Net.
I tried everything which was provided by dev.mysql.com and some suggestions here but nothing have worked in my case, what I tried is this

I have words with hosting company and I have asked them to let me know the version of mysql dlls in GAC and the quote was like this:
There is no GAC MySql Client in our servers. Instead use the ODBC data source.
You can access it via Plesk panel >> ODBC data sources >> add new >> connection name >> give the Server IP address >> Login ID
Password >> test connection >> then use the connection string instead of the previous one.
Let us know if you need any further assistance.
It took 10 long days to reach to this conclusion, then I finally tried the mysql odbc solution, but it is not connecting to Mysql Membership using the code I have shown in web.config
Parser Error Message: Keyword not supported. Parameter name: driver
I replicate the same at my local system but with remote connectionstring for mysql odbc driver 3.51 where it stuck at Mysql Membership line in web.config.
I hope I will surely get some solution out from here. I don't have any problem either with odbc or the way I did previously. But my major concern is to use Membership provider of Mysql connector as I have developed lot of pages on on my local system.
Thanks in advance.
