MySQL.Net Provider 5.2 Does Not Appear in VS 2008 Express Data Source Dialog Box

Question

I installed the MySQL.NET 5.2 data provider (through it the installer), but I could not see the MySQL data provider in the "Data Source" dialog box in the "Database Explorer".

I am using VS 2008 Express version. Do you have any clues?

Regards, Jatan

Answer 1

VS 2008 Express (and VS 2005 Express) does not allow the use of MySQL.Net Provider through the Data Source Dialog. The non-Express version allows you to do the same.
