I was using Visual Studio 2013 Preview but I couldn't find MySQL database in the "choose data source" dialog window, I even installed the latest version of MySQL connector as well as the windows MySQL installer (to get MySQL plugin for visual studio) but nothing changed, I had to get back to VS 2012 Ultimate, I just wanted to know if there is a special MySQL connector for the 2013 Preview Edition?

I am using Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and I got it working with the Mysql Visual Studio 1.1.1 beta plugin.

Requirements:

  • Windows OS 7 or later.
  • Visual Studio 2010, 2012 or 2013 professional or higher version.
  • Connector/Net 6.8.1 beta or higher version to check the Connector/Net & Entity Framework features. (download at: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/ on the development releases).

Download:

https://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/MySQLInstaller/mysql-visualstudio-plugin-1.1.1.msi

You can find the latest here (v1.2.3):
