Figured out the problem I think. Connector / Net is using 6.9.9 but the data adapter is using 6.9.8 as this is what is installed by one of the other installers in the MySQL Installer. Proof I downloaded an archived installer 5.7.13 from https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/installer/ and it also installed Connector / net 6.9.9. Again there was a conflict. I then removed the connector / net 6.9.9 from this install and then installed the archived connector / net 6.9.8 from https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/c-net/ This fixed the problem. Now data adapters can be created. I don't know which installer in the MySQL Installer is installing 6.9.8

Chiranjeevi, I have found a work around to a bug in your installer. The installer still needs to be fixed and it took me well over 20 hours to fix this problem. I think you need to fix your installer so that it is not installing incompatible versions of the dll's. Colin

I've been getting exactly this problem - fighting with it for two days. Uninstalled Connector/Net 6.9.9 using the MySql Installer. Downloaded the 6.9.8 Connector/Net msi and installed from there. Now I can create a TableAdapter for a MySQL database. YEAY! THANK YOU! I got into this trouble by installing Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition, then using the MySQL Installer to install MySQL for VIsual Studio, then running it again to install Connector/NET 6.9.9 (the only option). OS is Windows 10

Posted by developer: Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.9 release, and here's the changelog entry: MySQL for Visual Studio now prompts for action when it detects any conflicts in its configuration files that were introduced after MySQL for Visual Studio was installed. Errors associated with this type of configuration conflict prevent the creation of data sources and table adapters. A new Configuration Update Tool can resolve the conflicts between Connector/NET and MySQL for Visual Studio libraries as they are detected (see MySQL for Visual Studio Configuration Update Tool). To complete the action, it is necessary to restart affected versions of Visual Studio manually after the tool finishes updating the files. Thank you for the bug report.
Description: Not possible to create a dataset or table adapter in Visual Studio 2012 & 2015 due to conflicting versions of MySQL.Data.dll . This means that no reports can be created or possibly even used. The error message is: The wizard detected the following problems when configuring the TableAdapter: Details: Generated SELECT statement. [A]MySQL.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection cannot be cast to [B]MySQL.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection. Type A originates from 'MySQL.Data Version 6.9.8.0, Culture=neutral,PublicToken=c5687fc88969c44d' in context 'Default' at location 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\MySQL.Data.dll'. Type B originates from 'MySQL.Data, Version 6.9.9.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d' in context 'Default' at location 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_MSIL\MySQL.Data\v4.0_6.9.9.0_c5687fc88969c44d\MySQL.Data.dll'. < end error message > Attempting to resolve this I removed MySQL completely and deleted all mysql*.dll files on system. I then install the current version of MySQL Installer 5.7.14 found at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/. After the installation it was found that this installer still installed 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\MySQL.Data.dll' as version 6.9.8.0 How to repeat: Install MySQL for Visual Studio using installer 5.7.14 found at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/ Check the the version of 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\MySQL.Data.dll' is version 6.9.8.0 1) Create a project. 2) Execute Project> Add New Item > Data > DataSet press Add. This starts the wizard. 3) Right click in the DataSetx.xsd and select add > Table Adapter 4) Work your way through creating the table adaptor and enter a valid SQL Statement 5)Press Finish button and you will get the error. Suggested fix: Need to install the correct version of MySQL.Data.dll. However replacing file version 6.9.8.0 with 6.9.9.0 creates an error in Visual Studio and no connections can be created so there is a little more to this than just replacing the file version.
