MySQL for Visual Studio exception

I'm trying to link a MySQL Database to my C# project, but I've run into a few snags. In Visual Studio, when I try to connect to a database, it prompts me to update the configuration for MySQL for Visual Studio. If I click "yes" and run the update tool, I get this exception:
MySql.Utility.Classes.Logging.LoggerUndefinedLogFileException: The Logger properties that define a log file path and name have not been set.

If I don't, when I try to pick a database from the database list, I get the error "Unable to retrieve the list of databases".
I've tried reinstalling the MySQL extensions for Visual Studio (via NuGet) and the MySQL packages (via MySQL installer - community) but the errors persist. What am I doing wrong here?

Build Failing when Publishing to SmarterASP.net

I was able to publish my web app a while ago, and I'm coming back to it now. I've made some changes, not totally sure what all together now, and it just keeps failing. It gives me this in the log file:
5/4/2020 5:34:53 PM
System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.Exception: Build failed. Check the Output window for more details.

System.Exception: Build failed. Check the Output window for more details.
===================
And in the output window, it just says it failed trying to delete a file. I've tried publishing with deleting everything and without, both fail the same way.
I can build locally just fine.

SmarterASP.net often has issue with certificate and you have to reaccept it.
Note:If you get certificate error with publish,please add below code
to your PublishProfiles.

Publishing WPF .Net Core 3 app and Serilog.Sinks.File

NuGet package Serilog.Sinks.File gives an error when publishing.
I am trying to publish a self-contained WPF .NET Core 3.0 app. The app builds, runs fine publishes fine until Serilog.Sinks.File is added. Once Serilog.Sinks.File is added to the project, the app builds/runs and even logs correctly. However, when trying to publish this error is given;
System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. --->

System.Exception: Publishing failed.
===================
Remove Serilog.Sinks.File and the app publishes.
Even removing the Serilog initialize command and the same error occurs.

I found the solution turns out that Serilog.Sinks.File is not the correct Nuget package. You need to use Serilog.AspNetCore and then the app is able to publish.

You can try publishing via cmd. open cmd on the project root path and run this command
dotnet publish -c Release -r win10-x64
this will create publish folder at bin\Release\netcoreapp2.0\win10-x64\publish

I got same error when migrate my project 2.1 to 2.2. It worked on local well. Then I have solved it with;
Remove publish profile
Create new publish profile
That is it. VS kept old profile with old dotnet core version.
