Hi,
I'm new to ASP.Net(VB) and also not very savvy with Visual Studio either so please bear with me. I'm currently using VS 2013 Ultimate and trying to connect my ASP web app to a local MySQL database.
I've been following the instructions as per the MySQL website but have hit a snag. It says to open the server explorer, add a connection and select MySQL from the list. I only see 4 microsoft DBs and one Oracle to chose from. As per the tutorial (and desparity), I've installed:
mysql-connector-net-6.8.3 and the MySQL for Visual Studio (or something along those lines - can't remember the exact name. I also went into VS, searched the Manage NuGet Packages for solution; searched MySQL connector and installed MySQ.Connector.Web and MySQ.Connector.Data. After all that, I still don't see MySQL listed for my available data sources.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
J
