I use the MySQL Connector/Net to connect to my database by referencing the assembly (MySql.Data.dll) and passing in a connection string to MySqlConnection. I like that because I don't have to install anything.
Is there some way to "Choose Data Source" in Visual Studio 2010 without installing something?
How can I get a MySQL option (localhost) to show up on one of these lists? Or do I have to install something?
(I don't want to use ODBC btw)
"Add Connection" from Server Explorer: 
Entity Data Model Wizard:

On the View menu, select Other Windows > Data Sources. In the Data Sources window, click Add New Data Source. The Data Source Configuration Wizard opens. Select Database on the Choose a Data Source Type page, and then select Next.
install the MySQL .NET Connector found here 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."
