title: ASP.NET Cannot Find MySQL Host Even Though I'm Not Using MySQL
body: <p>I am trying to get a simple web page up and running, which uses TreeView as well as an SiteMapDataSource. The TreeView is to list links on the web application. My data source for the site navigation is an XML file (Web.sitemap). </p>
  
  <p>When I run this application in my web browser, I get the error: "Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts." </p>
  
  <p>It says my error is on line 285: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Line 283:    &lt;siteMap&gt;
  Line 284:      &lt;providers&gt;
  Line 285:        &lt;add name="MySqlSiteMapProvider" type="MySql.Web.SiteMap.MySqlSiteMapProvider, MySql.Web, Version=6.9.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d" connectionStringName="LocalMySqlServer" applicationName="/" /&gt;
  Line 286:      &lt;/providers&gt;
  Line 287:    &lt;/siteMap&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Source File:  C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config    Line:  285  </p>
  
  <p>I am not using MySQL or any RDBMS for my sitemap, so I am not sure why I am getting this error. I did Install MySQL onto my system, as well as the plugins for Visual Studio 2015, so could this be the problem? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
