The ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient' is either not registered in the machine or application config file
I followed most suggested solutions in the internet but for sorry all were failed. The problem occurs because visual studio lacks for MySql connector and I have solved it by installing mysql-connector-net-7.0.4 (https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/c-net/)
It works for me with the following section in app.config:
<system.data> <DbProviderFactories> <add name="MySQL Data Provider" invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for MySQL" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlClientFactory,MySql.Data" /> </DbProviderFactories></system.data>
I didn't have any MySql connector installed ony my machine.Fixed it by installing nuget: MySql.ConnectorNET.Entity
