I'm using the WebDeploy tool from Visual Studio 2010 since a few weeks and really like it. I was now trying to deploy my database as well using the 'Package/Publish SQL' tab. However, my current project uses a MySQL database and it seems that web deploy from VS is only compatible using MSSQL (sigh).
So my question is: can I get it to deploy my MySQL database? I know there is a custom 'dbFullMySql' provider, but not sure if this can integrate into VS2010. Thanks.
could this be of help to you http://blogs.iis.net/msdeploy/archive/2009/04/29/changes-to-the-custom-provider-for-mysql-dbfullmysql.aspx

I have an application using vb.net with MYSQL database in visual studio 2015 now i need to create a installation package to deploy the application to client computer.
I don't have any idea how to do this please anyone give tips how i can do this, im new with MYSQL.
It depends, what technology are you using? If you are using entity framework you should have a .config file in your project, usually it's called app.Config, you can specify your <connectionStrings> there. Else if you use SqlConnection, you'll have to change that string.
I need to setup a report server using SQL Server Reporting Services with MySQL datasource. I am using a ODBC connection to connect MySQL. Using this connection I am able to add a dataset in my reporting project in Visual Studio 2015.
Using this dataset I can create a reports in Visual Studio and it show me preview as well using my table from MySQL, So far so good only problem arise when I try to deploy my reports to my local machine it show following error :
An attempt has been made to use a data extension 'ODBC' that is either not registered for this report server or is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.
I am using SQL Server 2012 Express Edition and I follow this tutorial to connect report with MySql.

Can you please help me to know what I am doing wrong here? Any help will be highly appreciated. Please let me know if any other information needed.
Thank you
I do not think this is supported in express dev version.

If you have the full version, it can be easily done, via the instructions you linked above.
Is there a way to make a database project in visual studio for MySQL? Would I just create a normal database project and point it to a mysql database when I deploy? Is there a project template out there for this?
As of today (6/12/14) there is no way to create a MySQL Data Project in Visual Studio. This feature is however on the roadmap for MySQL, according to this enhancement request on the MySQL Website:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=59600
I suggest that you subscribe to that ticket so that you get notified when this feature becomes available.
Some support is now available via MySQL for Visual Studio, albeit nowhere near as advanced as the SQL server support.
I am trying to design a database application for my small business. I've created a number of form driven MS Access databases for use before but would like to create a permanent solution in something more advanced & common.
I was thinking of using mySQL for the database and would then program a C# or VB application to be used in Windows. I do not want or need a web based version at this time but the migration to VB.net in the far future may be something I'll look into.
I know I can use a MS Access backend for my windows application without having to install MS Office on any or all the computers the program will be run for.
But here is my question. Is it necessary to install mySQL Server on the PC hosting the database, on all the PCs accessing the database or can I just use the database file as the backend and Visual Studio will have all the necessary tools I need to access it?
If I have to install the server I may just stick with the MS Access database as the needs for an excessive amount of database storage won't ever be an issue.
You'd need to install MySQL server on the Server hosting the database. The clients would then connect via the network. You will however need a driver to access the MySQL-Server with VB.NET on the client machines. A simple DLL-File might be enough, though.
If you are looking for a file-based database solution have a look at SQLite. But you will have to watch out for concurrency issues here.
I have been using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition. Originally, I made a website with a MySQL back-end. Then I discovered the .Net web authentication, and moved to MS Access as I could, with some modification, make the web authentication work (but not all the features). For a future release of my site, I moved to MS SQL as it supported all of the features of the .Net web authentication. However, my host does not support MS SQL, my host supports MS Access and MySQL.
If I get Visual Studio 2008 Standard, with it have better integration with MySQL, to the point that all features of web authentication and using the development environment to make changes to the database are supported? Are there thrid-party tools or modifications that I can make to get things to that level of integration?
Or, do I have to move to a host that supports MS SQL?
We run a .NET environment here but using MySQL as our backend (though our software is applications, not web apps).
The MySql Net Connector is basically the MySQL version of the System.Data namespace in .NET (with nearly identical functionality/naming except for the MySql prefixes). So, as far as I have seen while working with it, anything that you can do via those namespaces, you can do via the connector.
As for IDE integration, I don't know. I use MySql Administrator and SQLYog to manage/work with the db.
You could try MySQL's .NET connector, though it's only a development version
