To all. I'm running Win XP Pro SP2 and .Net V4, with VC# 2010 Express.
My tests indicate that VS Integration doesn't happen when you have VS Express installed.
To prove this to yourself, download the connector as an msi file. Run it for a custom install and include the VS Integration option. Continue to completion. Run the msi file again as a custom install. Note that that the VS Integration option still has a red X beside it. You can also search for the file mysql.visualstudio.dll. I don't think you'll find it. I did this test with and without MySQL installed.
I'm open to suggestions for a new IDE that will work with Windows .Net.
