Visual Studio的MySql服务器

Question

I've just installed Visual Studio 2015 but I can't add the MySql server through data connection. All that appears is Microsoft SQL servers and Oracle, although I've installed MySql server and MySql server for Visual Studio.

So, what should I do?

Answer 1

To connect to MySQL databases through the Server Explorer you must have the MySQL Connector .NET installed.

The MySQL Installer doesn't install the Connector for .NET by default.

Answer 2

Download the MySQL connector. After installing it, you should see that is available. I tend to just the MySQL Connector and code the connection to the server. I can give you some code, if that is what you are looking for.
