Description:
Stored procedure mapping fails to identify the procedure’s parameters.

NOTE: I set the severity to critical because it is the only defined choice when there is no workaround. 

MySQL Version: 5.1.56
VS2010 SP1
Connector version: 6.4.4

How to repeat:
1.Have a sample database with stored procedures to:
  a. Insert a row into a table
  b. Update a row in the same table
  c. Delete a row from the same table
2.In VS2010, create a new class library project
3.Add a new ADO.NET Entity Data Model to the library
4.Elect to generate the model from the sample database
5.Create the model using default parameters
6.Open the model
7.Right-click on the entity with the stored procedures and select ‘Stored Procedure Mapping’
8.On the mapping pane, select your Insert, Update and Delete stored procedures
9.Observe that no parameters are identified for the Insert and Update procedures

Suggested fix:
The stored procedure parameters should be identified and displayed on the mapping pane.

Hi Leroy,

Unfortunately, the stored procedure parameter mapping is not working with MySQL Server 5.1. Only MySQL Server 5.5 provides the necessary parameter metadata (PARAMETERS table in Information_Schema database exists only in version 5.5).

You can also check the screenshot (vs2010_sp_param_mapping.jpg) which demonstrates the correct parameter mapping in Visual Studio 2010 with MySQL 5.5 and Connector/NET 6.4.4.

So, please use MySQL 5.5 if you really need the parameter mapping working.

The parameter mapping is not going to be supported for MySQL 5.1.
Closing the bug.
