Creating Database Model on ASP.NET MVC with MYSQL

Question

I'm using ASP.NET C# with database MYSQL, I follow this step on creating a database model with Entity Data Model Wizard http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/movie-database/create-a-movie-database-application-in-15-minutes-with-asp-net-mvc-cs . When I run this, it showed error --> Unable to generate the model because of the following exception: 'The provider did not return a ProviderManifestToken string. Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO).

I already have connection with the same connection string uses on webconfig MySQLMembershp I copied from this How do I setup ASP.NET MVC 2 with MySQL? which is working.

if they have the same connection string uses this should work, but why is not working when I create a database model.

Answer 1

First of all EF model connectionstring and Asp.NET membership connectionstring is different. Secondly you may have to see how EF model works using MySQL database here

Getting MySQL work with Entity Framework 4.0

Answer 2

It seems like you have no password. Have your tried using the password "root"?
