Dot Net Charting/MySQL Ambiguous Namespace issue in Visual Studio

[Richard Longden-Thurgood]

Hi, I'm having an ambiguous namespace issue in Visual Studio. It seems that that the dotnetCharting.dll contains the MySql.Data.MySQL client namespace, as obviously the MySql.Data.dll does, as shown below

Namespace MySql.Data.MySqlClient
Member of: dotnetCHARTING

Namespace MySql.Data.MySqlClient
Member of: MySql.Data

Now I tried to resolve this by removing the MySQL.Data.dll, however the dotnetCharting.dll does not seem to work with the connection object and crashes the program on run.

I also tried to use the full name to declare objects / reference the dll but it still told me that the namespace was ambiguous.

Anyone have ideas how to get around this?
