When MySQL Connector/Net is installed on Microsoft Windows, Visual Studio integration components are also installed and initialized. This enables the developer to work seamlessly with MySQL Connector/Net in the familiar Visual Studio environment, as described in the following sections of the manual.

MySQL Connector/Net supports full versions of Visual Studio 2008, 2010, and 2012, although the extent of support may be limited depending on your versions of MySQL Connector/Net and Visual Studio:

MySQL Connector/Net does not currently support Express versions of Microsoft products, including Microsoft Visual Web Developer.

Visual Studio 2010 support was introduced with MySQL Connector/Net 6.3.2. From version 6.3.2 the connector ships with both .NET 2.x and .NET 4.x versions of the entity framework support files, mysql.data.ef.dll and mysql.visualstudio.dll. The .NET 4.x versions are required to enable new integration features supported in Visual Studio 2010, including:

As of Connector/Net 5.1.2, the Visual Studio Plugin is part of the main Connector/Net package. The Visual Studio Plugin release notes can be found at MySQL Connector/Net Release Notes.
