Errors changing the Identity SQL storage (official tutorial) - mysql

Following the official tutorial (http://www.asp.net/identity/overview/getting-started/aspnet-identity-using-mysql-storage-with-an-entityframework-mysql-provider) I've created a new MVC project and all files I need (MySqlHistoryContext, etc.). There aren't problems here, but the tutorial press 'run' and all is correct, and I press 'run' and obtain the errors in the screenshoot.
The template has defined the "ApplicationUserManager" class, so the solved threads in StackOverflow aren't useful for me.

Joe, I think this tutorial is out of date and that is at issue here.
There is a comment on the tutorial that points to someone who has done this more recently. This may help. http://k16c.eu/2014/10/12/asp-net-identity-2-0-mariadb/
A side note: The most current version of Connector/NET supports EF migrations. When the tutorial was created - as it states - MySQL did not support migration. Since Connector/NET supports EF migrations it stands to reason that the latest version of MYSQL.Data.Entities would support it as well. Therefore you may not have to include the changes to the HistoryContext as described in these tutorials.

Joe,
After looking at your code, the connection string smells funny to me. Are you sure thats the correct string. LocaldB is a SQL thing. It is the VS default and definitely not a MySql db.
I've have looked at many tutorials using MySql db with Identity. None of them use a string like that.
The MySql dev website lists a correct connection strings.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-net/en/connector-net-entityframework60.html

Your ApplicationDbContext class is missing a static Create method.
For example:
public class ApplicationDbContext : IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser>
{
public static ApplicationDbContext Create()
{
return new ApplicationDbContext();
}
}
Further, your ApplicationUser class is missing a GenerateUserIdentityAsync method. For example:
public async Task<ClaimsIdentity> GenerateUserIdentityAsync(
UserManager<ApplicationUser> manager) {
var userIdentity =
await manager.CreateIdentityAsync(this,
DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
// Add custom user claims here
return userIdentity;
}

MVC application not able to connect to MySQL after deployment

I have developed ASP.Net MVC application that uses MySql as database and it is running fine on the development machine. After I deployed it on the server, it is not able to connect to the database and provides the following error.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
I already have MySql and mysql-connector-net installed on the server.
However, I am getting warning when I am launching Workbench
Unsupported operating system
You are using Workbench on unsupported operating system. While it may work for you just fine, it wasn't designed to run on your platform. Please keep in mind if you run into problems.
Do I need to modify the connection string somehow?
it is currently in the below format.
<add name="main" connectionString="server=127.0.0.1;port=1234;uid=mysqluid;pwd=mysqlpwd;database=mydbname;"/>
Here is the sample code of how I am interacting with the database.
internal static DataSet GetData(string sql, List<MySqlParameter> parameters = null, CommandType commandType = CommandType.Text)
{
var ds = new DataSet();
using (var connection = GetConnection())
{
using (var command = new MySqlCommand(sql, connection))
{
connection.Open();
command.CommandType = commandType;
if(parameters != null)
{
AddCommandParameters(command, parameters);
}
var adapter = new MySqlDataAdapter(command);
adapter.Fill(ds);
}
connection.Close();
}
return ds;
}
private static void AddCommandParameters(MySqlCommand command, List<MySqlParameter> parameters)
{
foreach (var parameter in parameters)
{
command.Parameters.AddWithValue(parameter.ParameterName, parameter.Value);
}
}
private static MySqlConnection GetConnection()
{
return new MySqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["main"].ToString());
}

Workbench is just a GUI to connect to and manage the MySQL server. I don't think that is your issue (...but it could be...I'd come back to that after confirming code-side issues aren't a factor).
The error you posted above is referring to SQL Server suggesting you have some kind of config issue server-side.
For reference, this is a working connection string using MySQL and the 'connector' nuget packages.
<add name="[your_connection_name]"
connectionString="Server=[my_db_ip];Database=[your_db_name];Uid=[your_username];Pwd=[your_password];"
providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" />
How do you make a call to your database locally? could we see some code?
Initial things to check:
are you 100% sure you are connecting to and can read/update data in your local MySQL server?
the live server accepts connections on 127.0.0.1 (sometimes it can be localhost for example)
check that MySQL is setup correctly in your web.config file.
update based on your web.config
I've taken a look and comparitively there are a few differences between your web.config and my one but my site is very old (MVC3 / MySQL Connector 6.8.3) so things might not work the same now. I also use my own UnitOfWork/Dapper integration to access the DB. I also use Auth/Membership where as you don't seem to.
Anyway, I've also noticed that entry for defaultConnectionFactory seems to refer to local connection. I'd check this.
You also have System.Data.SqlClient (SQL Server) reference in providers (which could be what the live server is picking up. This should probably be something like this (with your MySQL version):
<entityFramework>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="MySql.Data.Entity.MySqlConnectionFactory, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6" />
<providers>
<provider invariantName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlProviderServices, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6" />
</providers>

Could not load file or assembly 'MySql.Data' or one of its dependencies

After exploring enough I've decided to post this question here. I'm facing this error in my WebApi project which is working very well on local IIS but when I deployed my project on my Live Server I'm facing this issue Could not load file or assembly 'MySql.Data' or one of its dependencies. I'm working with MySql Database and added all the related dependencies in web.config file but nothing seems to be working out for me.

As you can see in my code above the verion of MySql.Data.Entity.EF6 (Version=6.10.7.0) matches with the MySql.Data.MySqlClient Version =6.10.7.0.
Is there anything which is missing in Web.Config file.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks.
Sounds like you should not only set assembly binding redirection for MySql.Data.MySqlClient namespace, but also includes its parent namespace i.e. MySql.Data:
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="MySql.Data" publicKeyToken="c5687fc88969c44d" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-6.10.7.0" newVersion="6.10.7.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
Note: Before using this binding redirection, make sure MySql.Data.dll assembly (and all its dependencies) in the production server exists & has its version matches with installed version in your development machine (6.10.7.0).
Additionally, the connection string provider for MySQL should have MySql.Data.MySqlClient provider like this:
<add name="DBCS" connectionString="Server=14.192.18.129;userid=admin;password=pwd; Database=db; convert zero datetime=True; default command timeout=0; SslMode=none"
providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" />
Reference:
MySQL Entity Framework 6 Support
If there is a mismatch with the installed MySQL.Data version. You can also change the dependentAssembly web.config settings. Match the newVersion with the version you're using. If it's backward compatible, see also: Microsoft Redirecting Assemlby Versions

My unit test project has no connection string - which database is being queried?

I've created a project using Web Api and EF.
I've set up some unit tests which call a few controllers and adds data to the database (through the controllers).
However I fail to see which database the data is being saved to. I initially thought it would be the database for my real project but that is not the case. Come to think of it, I don't even have a connection string in my app.config file.
Which database is being queried? I see the data is persistent through the tests (Test 1 saved a row with Id1, test2 saved a row with Id2 etc.)
On a sidenote I now know I shouldn't be testing the database in my unit tests but I just wanna know which database is being queried here? (remember I got no connection string)

having trouble on using ext.net with razor

i am new to ext.net framework.
I am trying to use the ext.net frame work along with razor to develop an web application using MVC4.
Ext.net being an open source technology i downloaded it and tried to run it .
I am having lots of trouble using this technology.
i configured my web config file according to the given instruction and added reference to the project such as ext.net, transformer.net, newtonsoft.json..
But as i start to use the code
#Html.X().ResourceManager(),
it doesnot allow me to use the .X() part creating the problem.
This implies that the ext.net framework has not been properly installed in my system but i have done all the neccesary steps.
so guys help me out. and i could not find many tutorials regarding this technology except on http://mvc.ext.net
any help on this matter would be very helpful and any one who would like to guide me is mostly welcomed
Try to install the Microsoft ASP.NET MVC package
(use Nu-get console Manager) and you can install Ext.NET with this command
Install-Package Ext.NET.MVC
If you have a Web.config file inside your /Views/ folder, please ensure the Ext.NET required nodes are also added to that Web.config file.
I think there is a problem with your web.config files.
Here my MVC 4 ext.net integrated application web.config file.
I hope it helps.

upload the MySQL.Data.dll to bin folder. or in the references folder highlight the assembly and set [copy local property = true] which will auto copy that assembly to the published folder. for consistency its better to put all 3rd party assemblies in separate folder and reference them from that folder.
hope this help!
