On this page it is mentioned
MySQL for Visual Studio does not support Express versions of Microsoft
development products, including the Visual Studio and the Microsoft
Visual Web Developer. To use MySQL Connector/Net with an Express
versions of Microsoft development products, use MySQL Connector/Net
6.7.4 or later, without installing the MySQL for Visual Studio.

I am currently working with Visual Studio 2019 and my database is MySQL 8.2.
When I want to connect to my database with Server explorer, in Visual Studio 2019, one of the connection methods listed was MySQL Database. But at the same time when I use Visual Studio 2022, the option is not available. I tried to configure MySQL. But that is of no use as in Visual Studio 2022m the option is not listed. Is there any other method to bring in MySQL?
Tried ODBC, which works to some extent, but it is not good enough. Is there any workaround?
Based off of this other post, you would normally have to install a separate program called "MySQL for Visual Studio". The current version of this program is 1.2.10. However, it seems they do not yet support Visual Studio 2022 according to this documentation. Visual Studio 2019 appears to be the latest version they have support for (since version 1.2.9):
Version Support for Visual Studio
MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.10:
Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 was removed.
MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.9:
Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 was added.
They also have a table here showing the supported verisons.
I already install this two requirement:
1-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).
2-https://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/MySQLInstaller/mysql-visualstudio-plugin-1.1.1.msi
But still not sure why the data source still not appear in the option. Anyone have idea why? Please advise.
BTW I'm using Visual Studio Express 2013.
That's because Visual Studio Express does not allow you to install extensions. This is one of the limitations of the Express edition. You need to add everything MySQL related manually.
This is also stated here:
MySQL for Visual Studio does not support Express versions of Microsoft development products, including the Visual Studio and the Microsoft Visual Web Developer.
To use MySQL Connector/Net with an Express versions of Microsoft development products, use MySQL Connector/Net 6.7.4 or later, without installing the MySQL for Visual Studio.
That does not mean that you cannot use MySQL in the Express Edition. It just means that you don't get to use the nifty design-time tools ;-)
what you can do if you have access , create an access DB that use ODBC to link to the MySQL Server , and then import the access DB as a data source in VS Express.
That way you are Using Access as a middle man to handle the connection :
VS Express <--> Access DB <--> Mysql
I've been trying to connect Visual Studio 2013 with a MySQL table using an ADO.NET data entity model but its doesn't give me the option. It only gives me the option to SQL servers. Is creating a MySQL ADO.NET data entity model even possible in VS2013?
Yes support is there unless if you are using VS express.
For Visual Studio 2013 do the following
Download and install MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.7. and Connector/NET 6.7.5, 6.8.3 or 6.9.x.
Which will resolve your issue.
I have installed the MySQL NET Connector 6.7.2 and am currently unable to get Visual Studio 2012 to recognize that the connector is installed. Is there a trick to this with the beta connector?
I see in that in the MySQL developer blog there is a mention of a separation of utility for Visual Studio integration starting in 6.7.X releases for the connector.
MySQL Connector/Net 6.7.2 Beta has been released
Am I missing a second utility to make this happen?
Starting with version 6.7, Connector/Net will no longer include the MySQL for Visual Studio integration. That functionality is now available in a separate product called MySQL for Visual Studio available using the MySQL Installer for Windows (see http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql-installer-for-windows.html).
PS. Close VS before installation.
If you have installed any MySql products you should choose Add Products or something simialar in the Installer.
I'm trying to learn to create .net stored procedures, triggers, etc. using SQL Server 2008 Developer. I'm guessing my edition of Visual Studio 2008 Shell was installed with SS. At any rate, when I open visual studio and try to create a new project, all that is available is Business Intelligence Project and Other Project types. Other project types only lists Visual Studio Solutions.
Question: Is Visual Studio 2008 Shell appropriate for this or do I need a full-blown version? If I need the real thing, will VS 2010 Express work and if so, do I need to uninstall VS 2008 Shell first?
I have been searching for days for a solution to this. Any ideas any one?
There are a few gremlins regarding the order in which these various components (and versions of) are installed.
If you didn't previously have Visual Studio installed, the BI Dev Studio installation will install a VS shell called Visual Studio Premier Partner Edition.
From this MSDN thread:
You should make sure that Visual Studio is still installed. If you
didn't previously have VS installed, the BI Dev Studio installation
will install a VS shell called Visual Studio Premier Partner Edition.
Look in Add or Remove Programs for an entry like this. If you don't
find any entry for Visual Studio go to the location for SQL Server
setup and run .\Tools\Setup\vs_setup.exe. This will install the VS
Shell. After this is installed repair the BI Studio installation by
running the following from the command line from the .\Tools
directory: start /wait setup.exe /qb
REINSTALL=SQL_WarehouseDevWorkbench REINSTALLMODE=OMUS
Personally, I'd first try uninstalling the BIDS Shell version, and then installing Express (following above instructions if the extra project types don't appear).
