I'm trying to make MySQL Connector 8.0.33.1 show in the Visual Studio references (what is showing there is still version 7 even though I've uninstalled that). The version that is there does not support "caching_sha2_password" authentication, which is causing me problems. What should I do?

I tried adding it to the NuGet packages and clearing the cache of the NuGet Package Manager and I tried re-starting the Visual Studio, but all that didn't work. I had thought that by doing all these, the proper MySQL.Data version would appear in the extensions.

  • The question is unclear. Are you talking about a problem with your application? Database drivers are added through NuGet packages, not library references. Oracle's driver is way too buggy too, so almost everyone uses the truly open source MySqlConnector driver, which has more downloads than Oracle's own driver. Commented Jun 29, 2023 at 9:54
  • You can't fix product bugs or missing features by reinstalling or clearing caches anyway. Commented Jun 29, 2023 at 9:56
  • Besides MySQL.Data never realeased any version 7 or at least, there's no such version in NuGet any more. Versions go directly from 6.10.9 to 8.0.11. Please post your .csproj and obj\project.assets.json files. The .csproj file contains the NuGet packages you added as PackageReference elements. The project.assets.json contains all dependencies, both direct and indirect. Perhaps you're using some other package that depends on a v7 version, like Oracle's MySQL provider for Entity Framework Commented Jun 29, 2023 at 10:19
  • If cleaning the cache still doesn't work, you can use the truly open source MySqlConnector driver Commented Jun 30, 2023 at 7:02
