Hello, I'm trying to establish a connection between Visual Studio 2013 and MySQL Workbench but I'm unable to do so. When I click on Data Sources => Add Data Source => Data Source: MySQL Database; I click on Test Connection and it shows that it's okay, but when I click on the Next button, I get the following error:
Unable to open a connection to the database
"Unable to obtain the factory for the provider for the data provider named 'Mysql.Data.MysqlClient'"
Please check the connection and try again.
