Answer 1

For you to see MySql provider you need both to install MySQL Connector/NET 6.7.x and MySQL for Visual Studio 1.0.2.

Or the latest versions MySql Connector/NET 6.8.3 and MySql for Visual Studio 1.1.3.

Bear in mind that if you install Connector/NET thru nuget, it will not register in the machine.config (so is more limited that way).
