title: Using MySql with ASP.NET MVC (Entity Framework 6)
body: <p>My database originally built with <code>MSSQL</code> but recently I've migrated it over to <code>MySql</code>. However, now I need to connect it to my MVC project (existing). I tried doing it by utilizing the <code>Entity Framework</code> wizard but get the following error message.</p>

  <p>I read along and found that I need some classes that are required for <code>MySql</code> to work with Visual Studio and added the following NuGet packages. I even installed the <code>MySql</code> Microsoft package (with the connector + MySql for Visual Studio). </p>

  <p>Even with all the packages installed I still get this error message. How can I connect my existing MVC project to a <code>MySql</code> database?</p>
