project crashes upon trying to add mysql view to crystal report

[ridhwaans]

For my VB.NET project, I'm using MySQL connector/NET 5.2. and crystal reports (ver 10) for visual studio 2005. Ive got a new mysql view in a database, and whenever I try to add that view to my crystal report through database expert, my VB.net project crashes.

here is the problem signature

How can I prevent VS from crashing in crystal reports? I will stick to MySQL connector/NET 5.2. and crystal reports (ver 10) for visual studio 2005 (w/out upgrading to a newer mysql/net connector, crystal report)

note: adding this particular db mysql view in VS 2005 as an .xsd dataset, or with crystal reports XI release 2 and mysql connector/NET 6.2.0 on another workstation doesn't cause a crash
