MS has given all students free Azure web sites.(Dreamspark) Great!
BUT . I cannot use MS SQL, so we must use MySQL with ASPX and/or MVC if we want to teach our students and make use of Azure. This should not be a problem, but other than an out of date article using MySQL to store user info for authentication, there do not appear to be any examples or videos anywhere on the web for wiring up MVC to EF 6 using MySQL as the model store. It would be great if someone could post one working example. A tiny trivial example should suffice, just create a simple model first(say, Person class with just fname and lname properties), generate the db from the model, and provide a view to show list of Persons.
We just need to see the DbContext derived class and then Web.config specifics for MySQL. All the other articles and vids using ASP with SQL will then be perfectly usable, once we can see how to swap out the store
