I am currently trying to build my first app on android. It has to have a database, I use MySQL. Xamarin and C# for the code.

I am trying to connect my app to the database, and i still pick this error : 

Exception while loading assemblies : System.IO.FileNotFoundException:Could not load assembly 'System.Configuration.Install, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKey Token = b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.

Perhaps it doesn't exist in the Mono for android profile?

What does that mean? I followed step by step the tutorial.

Can you help me?

System.Configuration.* is not an .NET assembly that is part of Mono for Android and thus isn't available in Xamarin.Android.

A list of available assemblies can be found at: http://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/under_the_hood/assemblies/

As a solution I suggest reading Connect to MySql database through xamarin it explains why it is a bad idea to connect an app directly to a DB. Instead you're better of connecting through a webservice.
