Answer 1

upload the MySQL.Data.dll to bin folder. or in the references folder highlight the assembly and set [copy local property = true] which will auto copy that assembly to the published folder. for consistency its better to put all 3rd party assemblies in separate folder and reference them from that folder.
hope this help!
