@Nivi Sharma please go to pacakage manager console (Right click on project --->Manage Nuget Packages--->Package Manager Console) and copy paste below lines of code and hit enter. Install-Package MySql.Data.Entity -Version 6.10.9 while working , don't forget to add using statements (ctrl+dot) for importing necessary packages also make sure you are using MySql and MS SQL , we usually use Microsoft SQL Server (MS SQL).
