Dear MySQL users,

MySQL for Visual Studio is a product including all of the Visual Studio

product which is feature complete but still can contain minor bugs and
is not suitable for production environments.

This version is appropriate for use with MySQL server versions 5.5-5.6.

As this is a release candidate version of the MySQL for Visual Studio
product, it can be downloaded only by using the product standalone
installer at this link
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/visualstudio/

The 1.2.2 version includes the following new features (2014-07-15):

- A new MySQL Project Wizard for creating Windows Forms applications.
- A new MySQL Project Wizard for creating ASP.NET MVC web applications.
- A new option in web configuration tool for the ASP.NET Personalization

MySQL Project Wizard for Windows Forms.
------------------------------------------
The Windows Forms Project Wizard is available at the Visual Studio New
Project dialog, either at the MySQL category or by filtering by name.
It also can be accessed by using the MySQL Toolbar inside Visual Studio. This wizard
automates the generation of a .NET Windows Forms Application that is
connected to a MySQL data source. A Typed DataSet or an Entity Framework Model can
also be generated to link the Application to the MySQL Database.
The user can select one or more tables that exists in the database. Each
table can have a different type of view. The types of views that are available in
this version are:

Single Layout: A form that contains one control by each existing column
in the table with navigation controls and that allows CRUD operations.
All controls can include data typed validations for Numeric types and
Datetime types.
Grid layout: A form with a Grid that contains navigation controls.
Master-Detail: A form with a single controls layout for the Parent table
and a grid to navigate in the child table.
Supported with C# or Visual Basic language.
This feature requires Connector/Net 6.7.5, 6.8.3 or 6.9.x

MySQL Project Wizard for ASP.NET MVC
------------------------------------------

Membership configuration to manage ASP.NET authentication. The login and create
user views are generated by the wizard and it also includes the generation of multiple
browsable views for each one of the tables selected for the application
generation.

The generation of the MVC items is done by creating an Entity Framework data
model either with Entity Framework version 5 or 6 depending on the user's
selection.
Supported with C# or Visual Basic language.
