与Visual Studio 2013 Preview的MySQL数据库连接

Question

我正在使用Visual Studio 2013 Preview，但是在“选择数据源”对话框窗口中找不到MySQL数据库，我甚至安装了最新版本的MySQL连接器以及windows MySQL安装程序（为Visual Studio获取MySQL插件）但是没有任何改变，我不得不回到VS 2012 Ultimate，我只是想知道2013预览版是否有特殊的MySQL连接器？

Answer 1

I am using Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and I got it working with the Mysql Visual Studio 1.1.1 beta plugin.

Requirements:

• Windows OS 7 or later.
• Visual Studio 2010, 2012 or 2013 professional or higher version.
• Connector/Net 6.8.1 beta or higher version to check the Connector/Net & Entity Framework features. (download at: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/ on the development releases).

Download:

https://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/MySQLInstaller/mysql-visualstudio-plugin-1.1.1.msi

You can find the latest here (v1.2.3):

I use Visual Studio 2012. Correct process of installing MySql will help you avoid any such error. At least this is what i did.

1. Download and install visual studio 2012
2. Download and install mysql-installer-community-5.6.17.0
3. Download and install mysql-connector-net-6.8.3
4. Download and install mysql-visualstudio-plugin-1.1.1
5. Order is important and each item too.
6. Open Visual Studio and Create new project
7. Add reference of MySql.Data in solution explorer after right clicking the project name
8. View server explorer
9. Add new connection and fill the spaces correctly
10. At the top of your code, add using MySql.Data.MySqlClient

对于Visual Studio 2013，安装“MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.8”

Answer 4

I've not tested it yet, and it's for VS2012 (and I guess it's the same for VS2013) but the following link may help:
