Hi all I have read in several different places that this is a known issue and I cant install connector 6.98 and MySQL visual studio 1.2.7 as recommended because they specifically are for VS 2015 or earlier. Currently I am using connector 8.0.17, MySQL connector C and MySQL for VS is 1.2.8 and vs 2017 I can not add any MySQL databases to visual studio I have an existing database that I added a table to in MySQL workbench and cant configure it to show up in my vs app. I get the error you already have a usable connection it adds the table but no columns are listed and when I try to update the table in the designer I get the same error. I actually started a new app to ensure it wasn't something in the original app same issue. Help Please.
I have tried the solution listed on stack overflow due to VS 2017 when I try to install the older versions as recommended I get error saying its for vs 2015 or earlier. I tried starting a new fresh app same error. I tried uninstall connector and vs addin as recommended and reinstalling.
Cant really add code but can give an idea of what I am trying to accomplish. I had a datasource already loaded a while ago I needed to add a new table as stated above. I have also posted this in the MySQL forum and will update you as soon as I get a response.
