Error when using MySql.Data.dll to connect to MySql DB in iOS Xamarin

Hi ,

Im new to Xamarin and mono developments .Im building an iOS app using Xamarin on Macbook Pro and i want to connect to a mysql DB .
so Ive downloaded the MySql connector from the below link :
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/

and then followed the steps in below to install them on the machine :

https://gist.github.com/steenzout/8413214

I referenced the MySql.Data.dll from the path (/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/3.10.0/lib/mono/4.5/MySql.Data.dll)

and added the below code :

MySqlConnectionStringBuilder conn_string = new MySqlConnectionStringBuilder ();
        conn_string.Server = "serverIP";
        conn_string.UserID = "user";
        conn_string.Password = "pssword";
        conn_string.Database = "DBTest";

        MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection(conn_string.ToString());
        conn.Open();
        conn.Close()

When i build the solution ,the build is successful but when I run the solution ,it will give me the following error :

System.TypeLoadException has been thrown
Could not load type 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlTrace' from assembly 'MySql.Data, Version=6.9.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d'.

at

conn.Open();

I checked that the server is accessible .

I dont know what is going wrong ,any help will be highly appreciated as Im banging my head against the walls for hours ..
