i've installed mysql connector on my pc. But when i start Visual Web Developer 2010, i if i try to add a database server, i can't find and choose Mysql server.
I 've only Sql server, oracle and odbc driver.
I've tried to reinstall mysql connector (msi file downloaded via Mysql web site), but it not solve.
Does Anyone have the same problem ?
I've had this problem with a previous version of the mysql connector. The installer simply skipped to integrate with Visual Studio 2010. A newer release fixes this problem:

I've found my problem: i was using visual studio express. Express seems not integrate mysql connector !
Thank you anyway for your answer!
According to MySQL they are not allowed by Microsoft to integrate with Express-editions of visual studio.

In the Data Source Configuration Wizard, trying to add a table from a MySQL install on the network. I get up to this step
When I click 'Finish', I then get this error message:
Other SO posts refer to this issue, none are resolved. This is a fresh WinForms project, there is no code written.
I found a workaround on the MySQL Connector forums (http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?174,648619,649199#msg-649199)
Basically, you want to use Connector 6.9.8, not 6.9.9. So uninstall 6.9.9, install 6.9.8 from https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/c-net/
You can keep using MySQL 1.2.6 for Visual Studio. I will add this note:
Important
Always install MySQL for Visual Studio before installing MySQL Connector/Net.
From: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/visual-studio/en/visual-studio-install.html#Requirements in case you are reinstalling everything.
I solved this issue.
Remove your existing Mysql for visual studio and MySql Connector by going to programs and features in control Panel.
Close Visual Studio
Download Mysql for visual Studio 1.2.6 Click here
Install it before installing mysql connector
Download mySql Connector 6.9.8 Click here
Install MySql connector.
Start visual Studio
This should work.
I've been reading about mySQL DataSource and the ability to use mySQL with Entity Framework, but I can't really generate EF with mySQL without the use of the DataSource Dialog
How can I add mySQL Database to such dialog?
This is what I have done so far:
Installed mySQL Connector v.6.5.4
Restarted n-times my Windows 7 machine
Read all about how well mySQL Connector works on previous versions of Visual Studio
I have just read from mySQL Forums that mySQL will ship Visual Studio 2012 integration with mySQL Connector v.6.5.5
We'll be adding support for VS 2012 in Connector/NET 6.5.5 and later 6.6.x version

Using Visual Studio 2012 Professional
One clarification: Visual Studio Express DOES NOT support MySQL .NET Connector as extension.
You still may use it adding reference to MySql.Data.dll file that you may find in MySQL Connector installation folder (for me it was W:\Program Files\MySQL\Connector NET 6.5.4\Assemblies\v4.0).
After that you may use it like this:
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;
...
var mycon = new MySqlConnection();
According to this page: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/
"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)."
Visual Studio 2012 is not yet supported by MySQL Connector v.6.5.4. You can't add a connection to MySQL in the Server Explorer to begin with.
According on this post, support will be added on MySQL Connector v.6.5.5
Connector/NET 6.5.5 does not support VS2012, but Connector/NEt 6.6.x does.
However Visual Studio Express editions are not supported, hence the only way to work in Entity Framework and Visual Studio Express and MySql (or other database different than SQL Server for that matter) is using code first.
It wouldn't matter if you had the MySQL driver showing as far as I can tell. I'm running VS 2012.3 and if I try to create a Data Connection in VS Server Browser, I can get as far as selecting the MySQL driver and no more. If I try typing a servername/username/password (any of the fields), the window just disappears and YES, it's only when the MySQL driver is being used so NO it's not vs (not exclusively) causing the problem. Go ahead and say that it's my environment but you'd not be able to justify that even remotely compared to the FACT of what is happening. ALL my other software/extentions/add-in/libraries work just fine. No surprise either seeing how buggy the "3 minute" Windows Installer was. Had to uninstall/reinstall a server instance to get to the configuration wizard and there is no other apparent way to configure an instance without it. I'd rather have the old setup. /rant

Downloaded and install Download MySQL for Visual Studio http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio/1.1.html
I installed MySQL connector for .Net v6.5 and it is supported by Entity Framework. When I use Visual Studio 2012 and try to add an ADO.NET Entity Data Model, I can't see MySQL. There are just Microsoft SQL Servers. It worked in VS 2010.
This question said that they are working on it - is there a conclusion?
use this mysql connector for vs 2012. once you install it then you have no such error and
mysql server shows in datasource.
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/6.6.html
The connector .NET v6.5.4 available today does not support VS 2012. You can't add a connection to MySQL in the Server Explorer to begin with.
Support will be included in 6.5.5 as per post: MySQL forum
There is apparently some workarounds and 3rd party ways to get this working but personally I will just wait.
Just to provide an update: The 6.5 version of the connector does NOT support VS2012.
But there is a development release of 6.6 that does.
Go to the following URL and click on the tab "Development Releases" to download it:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/#downloads
Download "MySQL.Connector.Net.6.5.4.VS2012.vsix" and install it to be able to use MySQL in Visual Studio 2012.
You might need to restart Visual Studio after installing it to see the changes.
i already install mysql 5 in my system and visual studio professional. and everybody work fine but how i can connect mysql database in server explore using installing connector
when i download connector for mysql i get the rar. the rar have some code but i not know how it work are anyone tell me what i do to use mysql in my server explorer
Go get Connector / net. It's the dot Net connector software. It comes in .msi form, not .rar form, and opens up Visual Studio to work with mySQL servers. I know for sure that it works with VS2008 and VS2010.
