Why do I have to build my Domain Project that contains my EDMX before my application will run?

I have ASP.NET MVC application solution split into 3 projects:

When I get my application out of source control, set project MyApp.WebUI to the Startup project and F5 to run, I get an error from my DbContext...

An exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in mscorlib.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: The Entity Framework provider type 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlProviderServices, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6' registered in the application config file for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient' could not be loaded. Make sure that the assembly-qualified name is used and that the assembly is available to the running application. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more information.

However if I right mouse click and 'Build' on my MyApp.Domain project first and then run it, my application makes a connection just fine.

Shouldn't I be able to just click run and it should build them all and just work?

Update 1

If I choose 'Rebuild all' or 'Build Solution' from the build menu, which I assume should rebuild all of my projects individually, it comes up with the error when I run it.

I have to actually choose 'Build' on my MyApp.Domain project within VS and then F5 my solution for my application to make a connection to the database without a DbContext error.

Update 2

If I right mouse click my EDMX file and 'Run Custom Tool' (as suggested in this Microsoft article to regenerate the EDMX code) and then F5 my solution to run, it still doesn't work. I have also tried opening the EDMX and saving it. It still comes up with the DbContext error.

Update 3 - App Config File

As Tim.Tang states in their answer here:

In EF6, you need to use mysql connector 6.8.x, and add DbConfigurationTypeAttribute to you DbContext:

[DbConfigurationType(typeof(MySql.Data.Entity.MySqlEFConfiguration))]
public class DemoContext : DbContext{}

which MySqlEFConfiguration is in MySql.Data.Entity.EF6.dll in 6.8.x.

AppConfig:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <!-- For more information on Entity Framework configuration, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=237468 -->
    <section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
  </configSections>
  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="QuizEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/QuizModel.csdl|res://*/QuizModel.ssdl|res://*/QuizModel.msl;provider=MySql.Data.MySqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;server=localhost;user id=root;database=uquiznew&quot;" providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>
  <entityFramework>
    <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework" />
     <providers>
      <provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
      <provider invariantName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlProviderServices, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6, Version=6.8.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d"></provider>
     </providers>
  </entityFramework>
</configuration>
