MySql Connector/Odbc 5.2(w) generates exception

Question

Hi I recently installed MySql Server 5.5 and MySql Connector/Odbc 5.2. Now, my old asp.net which worked perfectly in MySql Server 5.1 and Odbc Connector 3.51 generates an exception upon database operations.

The exception generated is: ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

I've changed the connection string to:

HTML

Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.2w Driver};Server=localhost;Database=efloxdb;User=root;Password=admin;Option=3;

The documentations haven't specified any further changes to be made. Can anyone find a solution to my problem? Any help would be appreciated

The ODBC Connector I've installed is 64 bit version itself. So There's no need to specify the Provider in the ConnectionString, they have mentioned. I have used the same connection string as they have given
