实体框架6.0错误与Mysql Connector 6.8.3.0

Question

In one of my project i was using entity framework 5.0 with MySql 5.6 With Mysql Connector Version 6.7.4.0.

Previously it was working fine but due to some reason i have to update the entity framework version from 5.0 to 6.0 and for which i have to update the mysql connector version from 6.7.4.0 to 6.8.3.0 which is the recommended mysql connector to use with entity framework 6.x.

Due to which now i am not able to update my .edmx file. while updating it is giving error saying your project reference the latest version of entity framework; however an entity framework database provider compatible with this version could not be found for your data connection.

Following is the screen shot of the error.

Answer 1

EF 6 & EF 5 seem to be not compatible. Try this (point 3) . Or you could remove your *.edmx file from your project and generate a new one from the database instead.

Answer 2

I've had problems with it as wel, I had to use a provider tag in the enitityframework tag in my app.conf
