E.5. MySQL Visual Studio Plugin Change History

Note

As of Connector/NET 5.1.2 (14 June 2007), the Visual Studion Plugin is part of the main Connector/NET package. For the change history for the Visual Studio Plugin, see Section E.4, “Connector/NET Change History”.

E.5.1. Changes in MySQL Visual Studio Plugin 1.1.3 (Not yet released)

Bugs fixed:

Running queries based on a stored procedure would cause the dataset designer to terminate. (Bugs #26364)
DataSet wizard would show all tables instead of only the tables available within the selected database. (Bugs #26348)

E.5.2. Changes in MySQL Visual Studio Plugin 1.0.2 (Not yet released)

Bugs fixed:

Creating a connection through the Server Explorer when using the Visual Studio Plugin would fail. The installer for the Visual Studio Plugin has been updated to ensure that Connector/NET 5.0.2 must be installed. (Bug#23071)
The Add Connection dialog of the Server Explorer would freeze when accessing databases with capitalized characters in their name. (Bug#24875)

E.5.3. Changes in MySQL Visual Studio Plugin 1.0.1 (4 October 2006)

This is a bug fix release to resolve an incompatibility issue with Connector/NET 5.0.1.

It is critical that this release only be used with Connector/NET 5.0.1. After installing Connector/NET 5.0.1, you will need to make a small change in your machine.config file. This file should be located at %win%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config (%win% should be the location of your Windows folder). Near the bottom of the file you will see a line like this:

<add name="MySQL Data Provider" invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" 
description=".Net Framework Data Provider for MySQL" 
type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlClientFactory, MySql.Data"/>

It needs to be changed to be like this:

<add name="MySQL Data Provider" invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" 
description=".Net Framework Data Provider for MySQL" 
type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlClientFactory, MySql.Data, 
Version=5.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d"/>

E.5.4. Changes in MySQL Visual Studio Plugin 1.0.0 (4 October 2006)

This is the first beta release.

Features in this release:

DDEX (Data Designer Extensibility) compatibility.
Ability to work with MySQL objects (tables, views, stored procedures, etc) from within Server Explorer.
