Why Did My MySQL Data Source Disappear in Visual Studio?

MySQL data source disappears in Visual Studio

MySQL cannot be found in Visual Studio After the data source prompts that the corresponding driver has been installed, please double-check the following possible solutions:

• Uninstall the older version driver: Try to uninstall the recently installed driver (installation recommended 6.6.5 version) and then reinstall. This may resolve incompatibilities with .NET Framework versions.
• Select a Visual Studio version for installation: During the installation process, select all relevant Visual Studio versions in "Modify Product Features". This will ensure that the MySQL connector is registered correctly.
• Uninstall and install the connector and plugin separately: In Visual Studio 2019, some versions of the MySQL plugin may have installation issues. Try uninstalling the connector and plugin and installing them individually.
• Visual Studio Express Support: In the past, MySQL did not support Visual Studio Express, but according to recent information, MySQL now supports Visual Studio Community 2017 and 2019.
