MySQL for Visual Studio Release Notes
With MySQL for Visual Studio 1.0.2, the registration of the Data
provider in the machine.config file was
done by the installation of MySQL for Visual Studio. From MySQL
for Visual Studio 1.1.1 onwards, the registration is no longer
performed by MySQL for Visual Studio, but is performed during
the installation of Connector/NET (from 6.8.1 and on). Also, the
registration is no longer needed when using MySQL for Visual
Studio only.
Added support for Entity Framework 6 for creating a model using Database First and Model First. This feature requires Connector/NET 6.8.1.
When trying to edit or alter a stored procedure or trigger that
included references to session variables, an error occurred and
the changes were not saved, unless Allow User
Variables=true was in the connection settings. Besides
stopping the error, this fix also stops similar issues with
renaming stored procedure or trigger using .
(Bug #17830161)
Generation of database from a simple model failed in Visual Studio 2012.
For this fix to work, you have to select the correct DDL Generation Template as an entity property. Also, there is a known issue found with Visual Studio 2010, which forces the user to go back and forth between steps in order to create the SQL script.
