I am getting ready to use this in my company.

I am using the latest Connector/Net from mysql.com

The only real challenge I faced was dealing with legacy data where .Net
cannot handle zero dates.
So i set Date and DateTime fields to default to 1900-01-01 and updated
any 0000-00-00 dates to that default.
