class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Connecting MySQL to Visual Studio 2019 can be a perplexing task for developers to undertake. However, once accomplished, developers can develop and manage databases, queries, and other data-related tasks using a single interface. In this article, we&#8217;ll embark on a journey to reveal the secrets of connecting MySQL to Visual Studio 2019.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Install_MySQL_ConnectorNET\"><\/span>Step 1: Install MySQL Connector\/NET<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The foremost step in connecting MySQL to Visual Studio 2019 is the installation of MySQL Connector\/NET. MySQL Connector\/NET is a driver that empowers MySQL to work with .NET applications such as Visual Studio 2019. Below are steps to install MySQL Connector\/NET:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Download MySQL Connector\/NET from the official MySQL website.<\/li>\n<li>Run the installer and follow the instructions for the installation process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Install_MySQL_for_Visual_Studio\"><\/span>Step 2: Install MySQL for Visual Studio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After installing MySQL Connector\/NET, the next step is to install MySQL for Visual Studio, a plugin that allows Visual Studio to communicate with MySQL. Follow the steps below to install MySQL for Visual Studio:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Download MySQL for Visual Studio from the official MySQL website.<\/li>\n<li>Run the installer and follow the instructions to complete the installation process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Create_a_MySQL_Database\"><\/span>Step 3: Create a MySQL Database<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you have installed MySQL and MySQL Connector\/NET, the next step is to create a MySQL database. To create a MySQL database, apply the following steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open MySQL Workbench.<\/li>\n<li>Click on \u201cFile\u201d in the top left corner and then click \u201cNew Model\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Select \u201cCreate Diagram from Database\u201d from the \u201cModel\u201d menu.<\/li>\n<li>Input your MySQL credentials and click \u201cOK\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Select \u201cSave Model\u201d from the \u201cFile\u201d menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Create_a_new_project_in_Visual_Studio\"><\/span>Step 4: Create a new project in Visual Studio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With the creation of a MySQL database, the next step is to create a new project in Visual Studio. Follow the steps below to create a new project in Visual Studio:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open Visual Studio 2019.<\/li>\n<li>Click on \u201cFile\u201d in the top left corner and select \u201cNew Project\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Select the project type you desire to create (C# or VB.NET).<\/li>\n<li>Name the project and choose the location you want to store it in.<\/li>\n<li>Click \u201cCreate\u201d to initiate the project creation process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Connect_MySQL_to_Visual_Studio\"><\/span>Step 5: Connect MySQL to Visual Studio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After creating a new project in Visual Studio, it&#8217;s time to tie MySQL to Visual Studio. To connect MySQL to Visual Studio, implement the following steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the \u201cServer Explorer\u201d window by clicking on \u201cView\u201d in the top menu and then selecting \u201cServer Explorer\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Right-click on \u201cData Connections\u201d in the \u201cServer Explorer\u201d window and select \u201cAdd Connection\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>From the \u201cAdd Connection\u201d window, select \u201cMySQL Data Provider\u201d from the dropdown menu.<\/li>\n<li>Enter the MySQL server name and port number, followed by your MySQL credentials.<\/li>\n<li>Click the \u201cTest Connection\u201d button to verify the connection.<\/li>\n<li>If the connection is successful, click \u201cOK\u201d to save the connection. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_Access_your_MySQL_database\"><\/span>Step 6: Access your MySQL database<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The final step is to get access to your MySQL database after connecting MySQL to Visual Studio. To access your MySQL database, carry out these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In the \u201cServer Explorer\u201d window, expand the MySQL connection you just created.<\/li>\n<li>Right-click on the MySQL database you want to access and select \u201cOpen\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>You can now view and modify the MySQL database using Visual Studio.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As discovered, connecting MySQL to Visual Studio 2019 is a straightforward process that can be completed in a few simple steps.
