thanks for the answer zafar, but i already configured the connection string in my web.config: "connectionstrings:
add name="xxxxxxx" connectionstring="Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};Server=localhost;Database=xxxxxxx; User=root;Password=;Option=3;" add
" but when i configure the sqldatasource and set the connection string like this : ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:xxxxxxx%>" and when i run my website i get this error driver is not supported, i'm using .net 3.5 framework..
