MySQL Visual Studio Cannot create a design window for the selected object


I was able to fix this problem by uninstalling Connector 6.9.9 and installing 6.9.8 - https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/c-net/


It's 2018 now, just thought I'd throw one out there. After several hours of trying random variations I got it to work using other people's answers.

I actually got the development download and it works but only with:

  • MySQL for Visual Studios 2.0.5
  • Connector/NET 6.9.8
  • Visual Studio 2017
