To Upgrade
Database: MySql Version 5.5.62 to 8.0.28
.NET Framework: Version 4.5 to 4.8
Entity Framework: Version 5.0.0 to 6.4.4
I followed the following steps:
- Uninstall and remove all existing mySQL dll of my project
- Uninstall Existing MySql Server
- Download the MySql Installer version of 8.0.28 and Install MySql Server
- Install .NET Connector - 8.0.28
DLL's
C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector Net 8.0.28\Assemblies\v4.8\mysql.data.entity.EF6.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector Net 8.0.28\Assemblies\v4.8\MySql.Data.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector Net 8.0.28\Assemblies\v4.5.2\MySql.Data.EntityFramework.dll
- Change the Target Framework for the Project to .NET Framework 4.8
- Install MySql.Data -8.0.28.0 (NuGet Package Manager)
- Install MySql.Data.EntityFramework -8.0.28.0 (NuGet Package Manager)
- Install MySql.Data.Entities -6.8.3.0 (It's not MySql.Data.Entity but MySql.Data.Entities. MySql.Data.Entity has been deprecated as it is legacy and is no longer maintained. According to this Answer, need to Uninstall MySql.Data.Entity But My project doesn't contain it because of done step 1)
- Install Entity Framework -6.4.4 (Upgraded from 5.0.0)
- Install mysql-for-visualstudio -1.2.8 (Using VS2022)
- In Global.asax.cs using MySql.Data.Entity; In Application_Start()
DbConfiguration.SetConfiguration(new MySqlEFConfiguration());
using MySql.Data.Entity;
[DbConfigurationType(typeof(MySqlEFConfiguration))]
public partial class my_systemContext : DbContext
{
static my_systemContext()
{
DbConfiguration.SetConfiguration(new MySqlEFConfiguration());
Database.SetInitializer<my_systemContext>(null);
}
public my_systemContext()
: base("Name=my_systemContext")
{
}
}

But now application is able to log on by using ASP.NET membership but can't process the LINQ query. Here I am getting the following error:
Attempt by method
'MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlProviderServices.GetDbProviderManifestToken(System.Data.Common.DbConnection)' to access method 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.get_Settings()' failed.
Note: Firstly I tried for latest version 8.0.31. But same problem I found. What I have missed for completing the task or is there any issue of incompatible version? Do I have to downgrade? Need your help to fix up.
