Trying to acces MySql database in ASP.NET MVC - mysql

Question

I'm new at ASP.NET MVC and I'm writing an ASP.NET MVC application with my own MySQL database. I've customized the code to connect to the database and i think everything has to work fine. When i use my own testdata in DeelnemerRepository (UserRepository in english) I don't have any problems but when i try to access the database it throws an ArgumentException. The exception also gives me the following message:
Unable-to-find-the-requested-Net-Framework-Data-Provider-It-may-not-be-installed
The invoked method in the DeelnemerRepository:
public IQueryable<Deelnemer> FindAll()
{
return deelnemers.OrderBy(d => d.Emailadres);
}
With NuGet i added MySql.Data, MySql.Data.Entities and MySql.Web
The Connection strings in the web.config file:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;Initial Catalog=aspnet-ProjectDynamische-20130415102959;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnet-ProjectDynamische-20130415102959.mdf" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<add name="kindermishandeling_dbContext" connectionString="server=localhost;Port=3307;User Id=root;password=1234;database=kindermishandeling_db;Persist Security Info=True" providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
I also found out there could be a problem in this method in this class but I'm not sure:
private class SimpleMembershipInitializer
{
public SimpleMembershipInitializer()
{
Database.SetInitializer<UsersContext>(null);
try
{
using (var context = new UsersContext())
{
if (!context.Database.Exists())
{
// Create the SimpleMembership database without Entity Framework migration schema
((IObjectContextAdapter)context).ObjectContext.CreateDatabase();
}
}
WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection("DefaultConnection", "UserProfile", "UserId", "UserName", autoCreateTables: true);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new InvalidOperationException("The ASP.NET Simple Membership database could not be initialized. For more information, please see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=256588", ex);
}
}
}
I don't expect a solution for the problem but i just would like to know where i have to look, I think ASP.NET MVC is really complicated...

Answer 1

I just found the solution by myself. Anyway thanks everyone who tried to help me.
I had to add this code to my web.config file:
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
<remove invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"/>
<add name="MySQL Data Provider" invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for MySQL" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlClientFactory,MySql.Data" />
</DbProviderFactories>
</system.data>
