Add My SQL data source in VIsual Studio express 2013
I already install this two requirement: 1-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). 2- https://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/MySQLInstaller/mysql-visualstudio-plugin-1.1.1.msi But still not sure why the data source still not appear in the option. Anyone have idea why? Please advise. BTW I'm using Visual Studio Express 2013. That's because Visual Studio Express does not allow you to install extensions. This is one of the limitations of the Express edition.
