Using MySQL with Entity Framework [closed]

Can't find anything relevant about Entity Framework/MySQL on Google so I'm hoping someone knows about it.

It's been released - Get the MySQL connector for .Net v6.5 - this has support for [Entity Framework]

I was waiting for this the whole time, although the support is basic, works for most basic scenarios of db interaction. It also has basic Visual Studio integration.

UPDATE http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/ Starting with version 6.7, Connector/Net will no longer include the MySQL for Visual Studio integration. That functionality is now available in a separate product called MySQL for Visual Studio available using the MySQL Installer for Windows (see http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql-installer-for-windows.html).

Check out my post on this subject.

MySQL is hosting a webinar about EF in a few days... Look here: http://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/web-seminars/display-204.html

edit: That webinar is now at http://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/on-demand-webinars/display-od-204.html

This isn't about MS and what they want. They have created an *open system for others to plug-in 'providers' - postgres and sqlite have it - mysql is just laggin... but, good news for those interested, i too was looking for this and found that the MySql Connector/Net 6.0 will have it... you can check it out here:
