MySQLConnection StateChange

[Matthijs Zwart]

Hi,

I'm using MySql.Data.dll 6.9.8.0 to connect to a DB in C#, something like this:

(private fields)
MySqlConnection _conn;
static string _connStr;

(in a method)
_connStr = "bladibla"; //correct string of course
_conn = new MySqlConnection(_connStr);
_conn.StateChange += CheckConnection;
_conn.Open();

When the connection is "Connecting" or "Open", the StateChange event is triggered.

But when I stop the MySQL server, I don't get any event for the state change. While the connection must be either broker or closed.

Is this a known issue? Or should I take care of this in another way? Google wasn't helpful with this specific issue.
kind regards,

Matthijs
