Inheritance security rules violated by type: 'MySql.Data.Entity.MySqlEFConfiguration'

Question

I've created an asp.net web application which should connect to a mysql database.

I´m using entity framework 6 with an ado.net entity data model. I´ve also followed the following tutorial: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connectors/en/connector-net-entityframework60.html#connector-net-ef6-config

However calling: DbConfiguration.SetConfiguration(new MySqlEFConfiguration());

causes my application to crash. It probably has nothing to do with this specific method, because creating a DBContext also crashes the app.

Any ideas what's causing this error?

• .NET Framework: 4.6.1
• MySql.Data.Entity.EF6: 6.10.4

Web.config:

<configSections>     <!-- For more information on Entity Framework configuration, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=237468 -->     <section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />   </configSections>       <entityFramework>     <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework"/>     <providers>       <provider invariantName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"                 type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlProviderServices, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6"/>       <provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient"                 type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer"/>     </providers>   </entityFramework>  <connectionStrings><add name="DatabaseEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/Database.Model.csdl|res://*/Database.Model.ssdl|res://*/Database.Model.msl;provider=MySql.Data.MySqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" /></connectionStrings><system.data>     <DbProviderFactories>       <remove invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" />       <add description=".Net Framework Data Provider for MySQL" invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" name="MySQL Data Provider" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlClientFactory, MySql.Data, Version=6.10.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d" />     </DbProviderFactories>   </system.data>

Answer 1

I downgraded MySql.Data.Entity.EF6 to an older version and it solved my problem.

Answer 2

Downgrade MySql.Data.Entity from version 6.10.x to 6.9.10 can solve the problem. It solved mine
