Type is not resolved for member 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException,MySql.Data, Version=6.8.8.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d'

Question

I have ASP.Net MVC site where I am using MySqlas database with Entity Framework

When running the following command on Nuget Package Manager Console

Enable-Migrations -force

Getting the error

Type is not resolved for member 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException,MySql.Data, Version=6.8.8.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d'

Here is how my Web.Config looks like.

<connectionStrings>
<add name="mb_databaseContext" providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" connectionString="Server=.\localhost;port=8080;database=myDb;uid=root;password=" /></connectionStrings>

 <entityFramework>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="MySql.Data.Entity.MySqlConnectionFactory, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6" />
<providers>
  <provider invariantName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlProviderServices, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6" />
</providers>

Please note MySql is running as

localhost:8080/phpmyadmin

Make sure you installed correctly the Nuget packages for MySql.ConnectorNET. If you did, try unistalling and installing them again. If that also fails, download and install the latest version of the connector from MySQL web site, running the installer from outside Visual Studio. That last step fixed that error for me. I included the links in this answer. — Diana

Solution

You probably need to install the MySql connector, I did that and it worked. Download Connector/Net
