I’ve been reading about mySQL DataSource and the ability to use mySQL with Entity Framework, but I can’t really generate EF with mySQL without the use of the DataSource Dialog

enter image description here

How can I add mySQL Database to such dialog?

This is what I have done so far:

  • Installed mySQL Connector v.6.5.4
  • Restarted n-times my Windows 7 machine
  • Read all about how well mySQL Connector works on previous versions of Visual Studio

    I have just read from mySQL Forums that mySQL will ship Visual Studio 2012 integration with mySQL Connector v.6.5.5

    We’ll be adding support for VS 2012 in Connector/NET 6.5.5 and later 6.6.x version

    and here is the vsix file if you follow the tutorial (In Portuguese)
