Description:
Visual Studio 2010
Windows 8.1 64 Bit
MySQL 5.6.14
Connector Net 6.7.4

When adding a new connection via the server explorer, the dialog appears correctly however the instant text is typed or pasted into one of the text boxes, the dialog crashes, causing Visual Studio to close / crash.

There is MySQL 5.6 server running on the same machine and other mysql tools are also installed.

No error is shown/displayed.

On my Windows 7 64 Bit computer with Net Connector 6.6.5 the dialog box closes instantly when you type in the boxes but Visual Studio does not crash

How to repeat:
1. Open Server Explorer
2. Right Click Dataconnections and Click "Add Connection..."
3. In the dialog that appears select "MySQL Database"
4. Click "Continue"
5. In the "Add Connection" Dialog that appears, typing or pasting any text in any text box with make the dialog close and visual studio closes / crashes.

Suggested fix:
No Idea, - Looking for a fix

I am not sure what was causing the problem, I had used the MySQL web installer when I upgraded to Windows 8.1, but there must have been a problem due to the upgrade to 8.1 from 8 and that MySQL was installed before the upgrade

I have eventually uninstalled MySQL completely and then reinstalled after rebooting the computer and that has solved the problem
