My problem is as follows, and I can not find a solution.
I have a MySQL database, which I want to manage from my application.
I have a project in C # with Visual Studio, in which I am using the MVVM architecture, and I am trying to use the Entity Framework utility to connect to the database, read its structure and automatically generate the class layer which represents the model.
For this, I have created a directory in my project, and I have added a new element of type "ADO.NET Entity Data Model". I choose the first option, which is "EF Designer from database". Then I open the window that allows me to choose the connection and the configuration with the database. And this is where I find the problem.
Among the available options, only those from Microsoft SQL Server appear, and the connector does not appear in MySQL.
I have installed the "MySQL Tools for Visual Studio" and the "Connector / NET", I can manage the database from Visual Studio using the server browser, and I can also compile and perfectly run any application that already has the layer of the generated model. But I can not personally generate this layer. In the wizard that is supposed to generate the model, I do not have the option to configure a MySQL database.
The most frustrating thing about all this, is that I have commented on this problem with some colleagues, and when I reply the same steps from their editors, in the list of connections, MySQL appears. But not mine.
Would anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you very much!
PS: I attach the window in which I'm supposed to choose the MySQL connection, which does not appear.
