I'm trying to install ClosedXML NuGet in an ASP / VB.NET project that uses .NET Framework 4.0, and I'm getting the following error:
What do I need to do for ClosedXML be installed OK in my project?
Thanks in advance,
Marcelo Camarate
I suggest installing using the Package Manager Console.
You can find this in Tools> Nugget Package Manager > Package Manager Console
Once that's up, paste this Install-Package ClosedXMLand hit enter.
Try to installing the latest NuGet Package Manager.
After the installation, restart Visual Studio.
Link for download the latest version of NuGet:

I'm trying to use Hangfire with MysqlStorage in Asp.Net core project. With Hangfire.MysqlStorage 2.0 package, MysqlConnector is installed. I'm facing lot of problems with MysqlConnector and it is not very much stable. When I install Mysql.Data with this, the problem comes i.e. MySql.Data exists in two assemblies. When I try to use the older version of Hangfire.MysqlStorage 1.0.7 then the hangfire don't work and error comes as Missing method exception. Can hangfire work in .net core with Mysql.Data?
I've changed the package Hangfire.MysqlStorage to Hangfire.MySql.Core_MySql.Data and now I'm able to use MySql.Data package with Hangfire and its working fine.
I am trying to install MySQL.Web in my Project but it throw me error
Error:
'MySql.Data' already has a dependency defined for 'Google.Protobuf'.
I try both way to install it.
By rigth click on project -> Manage NuGet Packages
by writing Install-Package MySql.Data in Package Manager Control.
But it throw me same error at both time.
I am using Visual Studio 2012
Thanks in Advance.
Check for the Framework you are using and the Dependency list.
I tried to install it Console Application in target Framework 4.5.2 and it worked.
If you want to run in framework 4.5 then try installing package with version 6.9.12 Because the newest packages have dependencies and also they don't work in framework 4.5.2
You can check the dependencies from MySql.Data
I am using Visual Studio for Mac. I have MvvmCross v5.1.1 installed in my project. I want to update it (and all its dependencies and plugins) to v.5.3.1. But I get this error message in the output when I try to update my packages:
Unable to resolve dependencies. 'MvvmCross.Binding 5.3.1' is not
compatible with 'MvvmCross.Droid.Shared 5.1.1 constraint:
MvvmCross.Binding (= 5.1.1)'.
With MvvmCross version 5.2+ MvvmCross.Droid.Shared has been removed.
From MvvmCross blog release notes
As the nuget package MvvmCross.Droid.Shared no longer exists,
please force remove it first, and then update the rest of the
packages.
Visual Studio
You can run the following command in your Package Manager Console to remove it (Make sure that the default project dropdown is set to your Android project)
PM> Uninstall-Package MvvmCross.Droid.Shared -Force
Visual Studio for Mac
You can install NuGet Package Management Extensions addin (You can get the latest version of the addin from Github). Then execute the following command from the PowerShell Console Window (Make sure you have closed and re-opened IDE after the addin has been installed before trying to open the PowerShell Console)
PM> Uninstall-Package MvvmCross.Droid.Shared -Force
I'm trying to use entity framework 6 with MySQL.
I did install MySQL plugin for visual studio 1.1.1 and MySQL .Net connector 6.8.3.
The problem is when I try to create a new ADO.NET Entity model, I can't choose MySQL for the connection.
But if I create a connection from the connection tool in visual studio, I can see MySQL
It means that the version currently installed is not compatible with entity framework 6. How is it possible after that I installed the latest connector and the plugin. Is there anything else to do?
Thank you
EDIT
I did a fresh install of MySQL without installing the default connector and then I installed the 6.8.3 and the plugin for visual studio.
Then I can see the connection I made for my Entity model but when I'm about to choose the entity version, I get this message.
LATEST EDIT
The bug has been fixed.
Chris' comment:
2015-11-07 and you can now get it all working without editing any
files or doing weird stuff. Use the MySQL for Windows installer and
include the Visual Studio support and the latest Connector.Net. Be
sure to update after installing and you will get the latest of each
(1.2.5 and 6.9.8). Use NuGet to install EntityFramework, MySql.Data,
and MySql.Data.Entity. Finally, built and enjoy code-first reverse
engineering goodness by adding an Ado.Net Entity Model.
Original answer
I found out it's a bug from MySQL.
Here's the link explaining a workarround.
On your machine where VS 2013 is installed, VS plugin (1.1.3 GA) and
Connector/Net
Close all VS instances before doing the steps.
On a Windows Explorer window go to this path or wherever you installed
you Connector/net binaries
C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector Net
6.8.3\Assemblies\v4.5\
Copy the file:
MySql.Data.Entity.EF6.dll
And paste it to this folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies
If it asks you to overwrite it please do so.
You'll need admin rights in order to overwrite the file.
Then you can try again to generate the script for your model.
It is important that you have the 1.1.3 version of the VS plugin
installed since this workaround is for that.
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me, so I downgraded to entity framework 5 until they fix this.
EDIT
Finaly, it works now.
I had to add the 3 following DLLs :
C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector Net
6.8.3\Assemblies\v4.5\MySql.Data.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector Net 6.8.3\Assemblies\v4.5\MySql.Data.Entity.EF6.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector Net
6.8.3\Assemblies\v4.5\MySql.Web.dll
Then I changed the EntityFramework part in the web config to :
<entityFramework codeConfigurationType="MySql.Data.Entity.MySqlEFConfiguration, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6">
<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework" />
<providers>
<provider invariantName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlProviderServices, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6" />
</providers>
</entityFramework>
Don't forget to REBUILD and you should be able to create a entity framework 6 model with MySQL.
IMPORTANT
Make sure you have installed MySQL for visual studio 1.1.3 and MySQL connector .net 6.8.3
Solution in 2017
Install Nuget Package:
Install-Package EntityFramework
Install-Package MySql.Data.Entity -Version 6.9.9
Install MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.6
- https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio/
Changes in Web.Config
<EntityFramework>
to:
<EntityFramework codeConfigurationType = "MySql.Data.Entity.MySqlEFConfiguration, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6">
Add (** your information **):
<connectionStrings>
<add name="**YourContextName**" connectionString="server=**xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx**;port=3306;user id=**your user**;password=**your password**;database=**your database**" providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" /></connectionStrings>
**Restart Visual Studio**
My Settings:
- Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015
- Dot Net Framework 4.5.2
- Asp.Net MVC 5.2.3.0
- MySql Server 5.6
Not sure if this is still a problem for you, guys, but none of the above solutions worked for me... until I found this:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40762
After applying the patches (for both VS2013 and VS2012), I got VS2013 working wonderfully with EF6 for MySql.
ps. Package versions installed (from NuGet):
EntityFramework - 6.1.3 (03/10/2015)
MySqlData - 6.9.6 (02/24/2015)
MySql.Data.Entity - 6.9.6 (02/24/2015)
MySql.Web - 6.9.6 (02/24/2015)
NuGet does the job right and updates Web.Config accordingly, filling the "entityFramework" section with whatever needed.
For VS2013, it simply goes from "Not Working at all" to "Fully functional".
For VS2012, it makes it possible to use "Code First from Database", which was not available before applying the patch.
I wish I had found this about 10 days ago, so hope this may still be of some help.
For me reinstalling MySQL and using the installed connector version as a reference in Visual studio worked!
Steps:
Reinstall MySQL Tools with the latest stable MySQL connector for windows.
Add this 3 files as reference in Visual Studio:
MySql.Data.dll
MySql.Data.Entity.EF6.dll
MySql.Web.dll
Modify following Web.config from
<providers>
<provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
</providers>
To:
<providers>
<provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
<provider invariantName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlProviderServices, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6" />
</providers>
Make sure your connection username/password/db name are correct or Visual Studio may crash. (Happened with me.)
My was facing the same issue.
I did the following:
1. Install MySQL for Visual Studio from:
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio/
2. Install MySql.Data in my project
3. Install MySql.Data.EntityFramework in my project
Did you try to install the latest dot net connector for my sql ?

or

depending your context.
2015-11-07 Update
The bugs are fixed and you can now get it all working without editing any files or even referencing assemblies outside of NuGet. You simply have to install the right thing and add the right NuGet packages. Here's how:
Use the MySQL for Windows installer and include the Visual Studio support and the latest Connector.Net. Be sure to update after installing and you will get the latest of each (1.2.5 and 6.9.8).
Then, use NuGet to install EntityFramework, MySql.Data, and MySql.Data.Entity.
Finally, build and enjoy code-first reverse engineering goodness by adding an Ado.Net Entity Model.
i found this on the mySQL Bucktracker
Try the following workaround....
Run the following command on the MySQL DB and then try if this works.
set global optimizer_switch='derived_merge=off'
I also added the following assemblies:
EF6 as Nuget package
MySQL.Data
MySql.Data.Entity.EF6.dll
MySQL.Web (not sure if really needed)
FYI for everyone using a multi-project solution, if you can't run your GUI project due to problems with finding/loading MySql EF6 provider, like:
No Entity Framework provider found for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'MySql.Data.(...)'. Make sure the provider is registered in the 'entityFramework' section of the application config file. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more information.
please see this question.
Although it's about SqlServer the problem might be the same: if only one of your projects handles the DB operations, then most probably you added Nuget References to MySql.Data and MySql.Data.Entity and EntityFramework to that project. Since MySql.Data and EntityFramework are used directly by the code, the build process is smart enough to copy them to output folder, and to copy it second time to the GUI project's output folder as well.
However, since MySql.Data.Entity is referred to only by the app.config or web.config text file, the build process thinks that this reference is not needed (the code does not use it!) and strips it away, and you won't see MySql.Data.Entity.EF6.dll in GUI project output dir, and this causes the GUI project to be unable to find that provider.
So - two options - ensure that something copies that DLL there as a part of build process (i.e. pre/post build event, deployment package builder, CI task, human task, whatever), or just make a direct reference to the assembly in your DB/EF6 project.
I know I am late in party. But I had same issue in Visual Studio 2019. I tried to install the MySql Connector and also the MySql for Visual Studio but it did not worked.
What worked for me is
I installed the development version of the MySql for Visual Studio version 2.0.5. (Do not forget to click on development releases if you are using the above link I mentioned)
I installed following nuget packages MySql.Data.EntityFramework which normally installs many other packages including MySql.Data, mysql.sata.entity.EF6 etc.
I installed Connector/NET 8.0.26
I am using Visual Studio 2019 and EF6 with windows form application.
Connector/NET 8.0.26
