Description:
Following these instruction to use the MySQL Web Configuration Tool: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/connector-net-website-config.html

The Icon that should show up in Visual Studio Solution Explorer does not show at all if it is a Web Application Project (default type in VS 2008 and 2010) but only if it is a Web Site Project (default type pre VS 2008). This means the MySQL Web Config Tool will not work for Web Application Projects. 

The only workaround I could figure out is to create a temp Web site Project in VS, do the configuration in Web Config Tool and then copy+paste the changes to my Web Application Project. 

I don't think this is a documentation bug but a bug in the Web Config Tool.

According to this thread other people are having the same problem but I could not find any previous bug reports:

My environment: Windows 7 64-bit, Visual Studio 2010, MySQL Connector/NET 6.3.2 beta.

How to repeat:
Above description should be able to recreate but have not attempted on other machines.

      - fixed bug that caused the web site config wizard to not appear when working with web applications
        as opposed to websites (bug #54571).

Thanks for quick fix!
