I am attempting to migrate multiple projects from MySql.Data and MySql.EntityFramework to MySqlConnector. I am however having trouble understanding how to replace MySql.EntityFramework.

My projects are actually extensions to a proprietary application. As such, app.config/web.config would be ignored because the extension project is not the main project being loaded at startup.

Below is an example of how I have worked around this issue in MySql.Data.EntityFramework. How do I make this work with MySqlConnector?

The important part is this: [DbConfigurationType(typeof(MySqlEFConfiguration))]

using System.Data.Common;
using System.Data.Entity;
using MySql.Data.EntityFramework;
namespace My.Extension
{
 [DbConfigurationType(typeof(MySqlEFConfiguration))]
 internal class DataModel : DbContext
 {
 public DataModel(DbConnection dbConnection)
 : base(dbConnection, true)
 {
 }
 
 // class properties
 
 protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
 {
 // modelBuilder.Entity stuff
 }
 }
}

EDIT: Oh I see, apparently I also need Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql. Haven't checked it out yet, so I am not sure if it is quite as drop-in replacement to MySql.Data.EntityFramework as MySqlConnector is to MySql.Data.

I am however starting to doubt if changing dependencies is worthwhile in my case.,

• Stuck with .NET Framework
• Having to support MariaDB version as old as 10.1.38.
• Async isn't needed in my use-case.
