I've created an asp.net web application which should connect to a mysql database.
I´m using entity framework 6 with an ado.net entity data model. I´ve also followed the following tutorial: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connectors/en/connector-net-entityframework60.html#connector-net-ef6-config
However calling: DbConfiguration.SetConfiguration(new MySqlEFConfiguration());
causes my application to crash. It probably has nothing to do with this specific method, because creating a DBContext also crashes the app.
Any ideas what's causing this error?
- .NET Framework: 4.6.1
- MySql.Data.Entity.EF6: 6.10.4

I downgraded MySql.Data.Entity.EF6 to an older version and it solved my problem.
