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.

I am using
Visual studio 2017, version 15.9.11
MySQL for visual studio 1.2.9
MySQL-8.0.18-win64
mySQL-connector-net-8.0.18-noinstall
If I try to add a connection to a project via Data Sources > Database > Dataset, and set the connection with the right server name, user name, and password, and then select one table, select options and click Next I get the following error
"Failed to open a connection to the database Cannot obtain
provider factory for data provider named 'MySql.Data.MySQLClient'.Check the connection and try again."
Also, when I connect to a local MySQL database using Tools > Connect to database... and I create the connection, which successfully seems to be done in the server explorer, and then in the same server explorer panel, if I go Data Connections > localhost > tables > double-click on the table, this is the error I get:
Cannot create a design window for the selected object.
How can I solve this?
The problem
As I said in my question I had mysql-connector-net-8.0.18-noinstall extracted. I tend to extract binaries instead of installing things. Don't really have a good reason for this behavior.
After checking Vignesh solution and before uninstalling anything, I decided to give a try to the mysql-installer-community-8.0.18.0.msi installer, since I had the mysql-connector-net-8.0.18-noinstall extracted in one folder and then I added a reference in the project, which was not working. Perhaps there was a way to use this folder (binaries, global references, etc) properly, but I couldn't find one. Maybe I was the problem.
The solution
However, after installing via the msi file, everything is working now. So if you ran into this problem, having similar versions than the ones I'm using and had the no-install version extracted, you can safely close Visual Studio, and install the same version via the msi installer, this worked for me! Worst case scenario, you can uninstall it via the same msi file, and try Vignesh's or other's solution.
This error will be fixed by uninstalling Connector current version and installing Connector 6.9.8
Download Connector 6.9.8
Visual Studio 2015: Visual Studio 2015 Community + DotNet Connector 6.9.8 + MySQL for Visual Studio 2.0.3 is working combination.
Visual Studio 2017: Visual Studio 2017 Community + DotNet Connector 6.9.8 + MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.7 is working.
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 am getting an error while installing SQL Server 2008. The error is like
SQLServer SetUp requires .NetFramework 3.5 to be installed
But .NET framework 3.5,SP1,VS2008 sp1 is already installed. I have checked in control panel also.
Because of this error I am not able to do daily tasks.
Please help me, where am going wrong?
Even though you install .NET Framework 3.5
sql server installer still ask you to install .NET Framework 3.5.
If you install sql server 2008 Standard ed in windows -server 2008 R2, .NET Framework 3.5 is already built in with windows.
Just go to server manager, click Add Feature and enable it. After that, you can install SQL Server 2008.
This bug had already reported to microsoft see here.
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/354980/sql-server-2008-setup-requires-microsoft-net-framework-3-5
and solution that helped was
The setup has been successfully completed after installation of .NET 3.5 Service Pack 1 (BETA) and Windows Installer 4.5. It was also nessary to install PowerShell after that.
Go ahead and download the required software and then try again installing.
I had the same problem.
In the installation folder you have some files and three folder (ia64, x64, x86). When I copied the installation folder of SQL Server 2008 I excluded the ia64 and x64 folder.
The solution that worked for me was to not exclude the x64 folder. Maybe it is possible you have missing files. I would download or copy the installation files again!

Downloaded and install Download MySQL for Visual Studio http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio/1.1.html
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:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/
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.
