The image below describes my problem.
There is no option for MySQL Server although i have installed the MySQL connector for Visual Studio 2012.
I want to use Entity model and i am stacked here.
Any idea why is this happening?
You have to use MySQL for Visual Studio:

Because since version 6.7 MySql connector does not include anymore MySQL for Visual Studio integration

I've attached .mdf files to Visual Basic applications plenty of times. I'm not 100% new to C#, I know some about it. I also know that attaching a .mdf is similar enough. I ran into this during my senior project, see below.
I just got SQL Server 2019 yesterday, and my Visual Studio (Community edition) is updated to the most recent patch as well. Side note: I just made a few tables with some example data in them to see if I could get it to work. Any advice on what to do?
EDIT: While looking through my visual studio installations, it seems I have localdb 2016... no options for 2019. So my question now evolves to:
How can I get Visual Studio to use a 2019 version of LocalDB?
As the title says, I could not proceed in creating a data source for datagridview. I can see the database and the tables fine, but when I click finish, an error comes up.
What I've done so far:
-Reinstalled MySQL for Visual Studio
-Reinstalled MySQL Connector/NET
-Updated MySQL Updated
-Visual Studio 2017
Any ideas?
BTW I'm using Windows 7 64 bit, Visual Studio 2017 Community, and MySQL 8.0.13. Programming Language is C#
Here's a screenshot.

This is a bug in the MySQL Visual Studio integration; it has been reported as bug 92751.
You can subscribe to updates on that case to learn when Oracle has fixed the bug and released an updated version. As far as I know, there is no workaround.
I have created and added a SQL Server project into my Visual Studio 2015 c# solution.
I would like to do unit testing for my stored procedures. After right clicking on one of the procedures, it is showing create unit test as greyed out:
I did get the most recent SSDT update.
Why is the create unit test option greyed out?
Here is the information about my Visual Studio version:
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2015 Version 14.0.24720.00 Update 1 Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.6.01055
Installed Version: Professional
Visual C# 2015 Microsoft Visual C# 2015
SQL Server Data Tools 14.0.50730.0 Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools
TypeScript 1.7.6.0 TypeScript for Microsoft Visual Studio
Looks like all I had to do was build, fix a few errors, and voila:
I have a Windows 7, 64 bit computer.
My Visual Studio is: VS Express for Desktop 2012.
I have MySQL Server 5.6.15.
I've tried Installer 5.5 and 5.6
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/
I believe I have .NET 4.5
I have tried MySQL Connectors/Net (6.74, 6.66, 6.57, 6.16.)
But I can't get access to MySQL through VS 2012 Express (or 2013 for that matter). (See below)
This is my Visual Studio.
I've tried all these:
MySQL Data Source not appearing in Visual Studio
How to connect to a MySQL Data Source in Visual Studio
MySQL Connector for Visual Studio 2012 Update 3
MySQL NET Connect 6.7.2 in Visual Studio 2012
mySQL DataSource on Visual Studio 2012
MySQL For Visual Studio 2012/2013
None have worked. Is it my Visual Studio?
With all the trial and error with the Connector/NET it would seem it's perhaps my Visual Studio Express Edition? Do I need 2010? Really hate losing all the features (I typically use 2013, but want to be able to connect to MySQL for a few learning projects).
EDIT: I think it is the Visual Studio edition, specifically, "Express" even though the add-ons I upload say it works for Visual Studio 2008, 2010, and 2012...I think it is only for the full editions.
If you've somehow gotten Express to work with MySQL, I'd love to know you're configuration.
I found this on the MySQL page - I'm posting it as an answer as there's about 6 other posts that seem to have a similar issue. IF someone is able to get Express edition(s) to work with MySQL (if somehow possible) - that would be the best answer.
Otherwise, this may be helpful to others.

I updated to Visual Studio 2013 last week and I can no longer update my Entity Data model through the visual studio designer (.edmx file).
When I right click > update model from database I now receive this error:
An Exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred while
attempting to update from the database. The exception message is:
'Unable to convert runtime connection string to its design-time
equivalent. Connection string: server=192.168.100.103;user
id=xxx;password=xxx;database=xxx;persist security info=True'.
My connection string is as follows:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DbEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/Db.csdl|res://*/Db.ssdl|res://*/Db.msl;provider=MySql.Data.MySqlClient;provider connection string="server=192.168.100.103;user id=xxx;password=xxx;database=xxx;persist security info=True"" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
The process still works fine in Visual Studio 2012
Apparently MySql and Visual Studio 2013 don't work together yet.
Here is a link on the MySql forums:

You'll probably need to wait for the next release of the MySql connector.
I can't even create a connection to a MySql DB from Server Exploer in Visual Studio 2013. Can you?
You need to download Mysql connector 6.8.3.0 and Mysql for Visual Studio 1.1.1(https://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/MySQLInstaller/mysql-visualstudio-plugin-1.1.1.msi)
After that, it worked for me.
There is a new product for this now:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio/
Worked for me!
I had a similar problem with SQL Server Compact Edition. Although implied above, I'll explicitly state it: The answer for me was starting it in VS2012 and following the same steps to generate the database from the .edmx as I had tried in VS2013.
Most likely you are using an older version of MYSQL for VS or do not have any installed.
Simply Install/Update MySQL for visual studio
here : http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio/
This Worked for me
I also had this error message with Oracle. I previously had the Oracle ODT installed to make everything work with Visual Studio with our old database. However, I upgraded from the 12.1 to 12.2 ODT version of the tools when we migrated to a 12.2 server. That's when I started getting the above error.
For me, the fix was to update the machine.config. Change all references to the old driver version to the new driver version. In my case, I updated the Oracle.ManagedDataAccess from 4.121.1.0 to 4.122.1.0.
The problem is likely that MySQL for Visual Studio is missing. This can happen when Microsoft updates Visual Studio OR any related components.
You can check by:
Open your VS project.
Open Server Explorer and click on the connection.
Right click and open Properties. If the connection or provider are missing reinstall the connector and provider according to the instructions shown below:
STEPS on how to fix the problem:
NOTE: This uses version 6.8.10, your version may be different. Whatever version you use, all installed components MUST BE COMPATIBLE. That includes the Connector, MySQL for VS, and the MySql.Data components in your project.
This happens to me when MySQL version is updated.
I have found that doing the following steps can solve it:
Update the project nuget packages for MySQL to the latest.
Close Visual Studio.
Lunch MySQL Installer and update the product ".Net Connector" to the latest.
In MySQL Installer - remove the product "MySQL for Visual Studio"
In MySQL Installer - reinstall the product "MySQL for Visual Studio"
When you will open Visual Studio and update your model, you will be asked to update some MySQL files from PKGDEF files. Click on yes and everything should work.
