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.

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.
Data Source Config Wizard Error
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.
As you can see i've already installed the necessary mysql packages such as Mysql for Visual studio and Connector/NET but no matter what the mysql is not appearing in Visual studio 2017 Data source menu, any suggestion ? :
I just had the same situation when trying to configure Visual Studio Professional 2017 environment with MySQL, ADO.NET (Database First) and EF6.
Note: Please follow steps in the same order.
Uninstall/remove "Connector/NET" and "MySQL for Visual Studio" if installed.
Install "MySQL for Visual Studio" v2.0.5 CTP (MySQL for Visual Studio).
Note: Install MySQL for Visual Studio before Connector/NET.
Install "Connector/NET" v6.9.10 (Connector/Net).
https://i.stack.imgur.com/XOT1I.jpg Note: I tried using Connector/NET v6.8, v6.10 and v8 first, but none of them worked with Visual Studio 2017 and ADO.Net. Here you can find all Connector Versions and Compatibilities with Visual Studio IDEs, but so far this list is inaccurate.
Note: Until this step, you should be covered, but you'll then encounter Entity Framework issues, follow the next steps to completely configure your environment and you should be good to go.
Create new Visual Studio Professional 2017 project.
Download and Install "EntityFramework" v6.2.0 through NuGet, by going to Project Tab/Manage NuGet Packages/Browse -> Entity Framework.
Add references to C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\Connector.NET 6.9.10\Assemblies\v4.5\MySql.Data.dll
and
C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\Connector.NET 6.9.10\Assemblies\v4.5\MySql.Data.Entity.EF6.dll; by Right Clicking over References inside Solution Explorer and selecting Add Reference/Browse ->Browse button.
Add MySQL EF6 provider info inside App.config under entity framework providers as follow:
<entityFramework>
<providers>
<provider invariantName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"
type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlProviderServices, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6" />
</providers>
</entityFramework>
Rebuild project by going to Build tab/Rebuild ProjectName.
And that's it. VS2017 is ready to go. Hope this works for everybody, as it did for me today.

Can't Create Entity Data Model - using MySql and EF6
No Entity Framework provider found for 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient' ADO.NET provider
The native MySQL .net connector does not yet support Visual Studio 2017. It was mentioned in the MySQL forums that they expect around a 3 month wait before an updated connector is expected to be ready in the meantime Devart has a connector that works with MySQL and is compatible with VS2017.
Edit
Native MySQL for Visual Studio 2017 support is available. More info at: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/visual-studio/en/visual-studio-install.html
My circumstance is a bit different: during the first time I installed it, the option is there but the next day it's missing.
I tried uninstalling then installing Mysql for Visual studio and Connector/NET before restarting my laptop but it still didn't appear until I went to Tools > Extensions and Updates... in the main menu. A pop-up Extensions and Updates will appear and under Installed, find MySQL for Visual Studio and enable it. After closing Visual Studio, the option came back after starting Visual Studio again.
(I hypothesise VS disabled it because it made running slower. I'm using Visual Studio 2017 btw)
I require some assistance in getting Visual Studio 2015 Community connected to firebird.
I am new to Visual Studio 2015 (used to program in Delphi/C++ builder), and I am now learning C# and want to use a firebird database.
Could anyone please assist or point me in the right direction in how to accomplish this?
I have installed the DDEX and ADO.net drivers as provided on the Firebird, page but so far no luck.
I don't have any code as of yet, as Visual Studio does not even see the Firebird drivers in the database connection dialogs.
Any assistance would be welcome.
I figured it out.
Perform the following steps:
Install Firebird 2.5.6.
Following packages needed:
EntityFramework (v6.1.3 at time of writing)
FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient (v5.1.1 at time of writing)
EntityFramework.Firebird (v5.1.1 at time of writing)
DDEXProvider (v3.0.2 at time of writing)
in visual studio 2015 Open a solution.
Then click on Tools->NuGet Package Manager->Package Manager Console
execute following commands in the Package manager console:
Install-Package EntityFramework
Install-Package FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient
Install-Package EntityFramework.Firebird
Then download and install the DDEXProvider from http://www.firebirdsql.org/en/additional-downloads/ via normal windows setup.
In Microsoft Visual Studio Click Tools->Connect to Database:
Under data source the Firebird Data Source should now be listed.
Select it and the Data Provide should now list .NET Framework Data Provider for Firebird.
click Next and follow prompts to setup for your database.
Data Source should be server name where database is hosted or localhost.
Database connection should now show under the Server Explorer.
I have a problem with Oracle Data Provider for .NET. I have:
just disinstalled and reinstalled new version of Oracle, I have now 12.1.0
Visual Studio 2015
Oracle Developer Tool for Visual Studio
I want to create a ASP.NET Web Application with Entity Framework 6.0. If I open one of my old projects or when I create a new one and download from Nuget Oracle.ManagedDataAccess and Oracle.ManagedDataAccessEntityFramework this appears:
and if I click OK, I continue and create a model based on Oracle it always says that my EntityFramework is not correct for that provider even if I followed this link or it crashes after setting the connection and click "Next".
What's wrong? Please help me..
Thats how I solved it:
Remove all folders wich names contains "Oracle" from:
Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\
Windows\assembly\
Then restart Visual Studio and it will work.
I used cmd in administrator mode to do that, because explorer or other file managers did not allow me to remove that folders.
I have Windows 8.1, MySql 5.6, and Visual Studio Ultimate 2012.
I am trying to set a DataSet, but I am having the error Cannot obtain provider factory for data provider named MySql.Data.MySqlClient when I try to drag a table to the DataSet.
a) The Server Explorer can access the database and show me all tables, and the "Test Connection" button returns a successful message.
b) I added MySql references to the bin folder (MySql.Data, MySql.Data.Entity, MySql.Web).
c) I edited the Web.config file removing MySql.Data.MySqlClient invariant and adding it again with "correct" settings. I tried to set <connectionStrings>, <DbProviderFactories>, membership providers, profile providers, and RoleManager providers;
d) I have already uninstalled and reinstalled MySql and Visual Studio.
Nothing seems to work, and the same error remains happening. I have already tried a lot of suggestions from this and other forums.
Worked for me, steps below:
Close Visual Studio
Run the MySQL Connector/Net and remove your installation
Run the Connector again and install as you have done prior to deletion(typical/custom).
Open Visual studio
Delete all connections to server/database/dataset from the solution and server explorer. Do not remove any lines of code.
Re-establish a connection to your database,naming it as it was.
Re-establish a connection to your data source for data set as it was.
Click play, be happy!
Hope this helps.
you have to install mysql connector
just download the last version of MySql connector and install it while closing visual studio
Make sure you have installed "Connector/NET" and "MySQL for Visual Studio". Run "MySQL Installer" and install those two.
C4U gave me the clue I needed after fighting with this all day. Connector/Net seemed to install with MySQL for Visual Studio when I used the installer the first time. I could create a connection in the Server Explorer but couldn't create a new connection from within my project. I also couldn't run the little blue button (MySQL Website Configuration). I tried rerunning the installer and couldn't find Connector/Net. It had not installed completely.
What worked:
I closed Visual Studio and opened Programs and Features from the Control panel and uninstalled ALL MySql Connector programs, including Connector/Net. Then I reran the same MySql Visual Studio Installer I had run before and, voila!, I could see the Connector/Net and install it. Then I opened Visual Studio, deleted my connections, and clicked on the little blue button (MySQL Website Configuration). Worked! I could also create a connection inside my project.
AND I didn't have to add ANY reference or ANYTHING to the config file.
