Answer 1

I suppose if you use entity framework you must have an ApplicationContext class inheriting from DbContext.If this is the case you need to add an annotation on the ApplicationContext class like this:

using System.Data.Entity;

[DbConfigurationType(typeof(MySql.Data.Entity.MySqlEFConfiguration))]
public abstract class ApplicationContext : DbContext
{
     //Instructions.........
}

You can also edit your Web.Config file at the entityframework tag like this :

<entityFramework codeConfigurationType="MySql.Data.Entity.MySqlEFConfiguration, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6">

You can always refer to this link :
