MySql server for Visual Studio

I've just installed Visual Studio 2015 but I can't add the MySql server through data connection. All that appears is Microsoft SQL servers and Oracle, although I've installed MySql server and MySql server for Visual Studio.

So, what should I do?

Download the MySQL connector. After installing it, you should see that is available. I tend to just the MySQL Connector and code the connection to the server. I can give you some code, if that is what you are looking for.

To connect to MySQL databases through the Server Explorer you must have the MySQL Connector .NET installed.

The MySQL Installer doesn't install the Connector for .NET by default.
