Unable to convert MySQL date/time to System.DateTime code example

Example: unable to convert mysql date/time value to system.datetime

If I google for "Unable to convert MySQL date/time value to System.DateTime" I see numerous references to a problem accessing MySQL from Visual Studio. Is that your context?

One solution suggested is:

This is not a bug but expected behavior. Please check manual under connect options and set "Allow Zero Datetime" to true, as on attached pictures, and the error will go away.
