.net - 带有 Entity Framework 的 MySQL - 我做错了什么？

Question

我对 Entity Framework 甚至 ADO.NET 都是一个新手(通常不怎么处理数据库)。

1. 我下载并安装了MySQL Connector/NET 6.3.5 .
2. 我在 Visual Studio 2010 中创建了一个新的 C# 项目。
3. 我向我的项目添加了一个新的 ADO.NET 实体数据模型并选择了“从数据库生成”。
4. 我使用服务器名称“localhost”+ 我的用户名和密码添加了到本地 MySQL 服务器的新连接。
5. 我检查了我的 MySQL 数据库中的所有表以生成对象。
6. 我写了下面的代码:

(things 只是我用一些任意字段拼凑的虚假表格。)

TestDataEntities entities = new TestDataEntities();

var things = entities.things.Execute(MergeOption.AppendOnly); // exception

上面抛出了一个NullReferenceException，我真的不知道为什么会这样。当我测试连接时，它说它成功了。我肯定已经使用正确的用户名和密码建立了连接。我什至不知道还要调查什么。

对于那些真正了解这些东西的人来说，这是我得到的异常(exception)(尽管在我未经训练的眼中，这实际上看起来并没有那么有用):

Answer 1

我通过添加对 MySql.Data.Entity.dll(和 MySql.Web.dll)的引用来克服这个错误
