'Connector/net does not support server versions prior to 5.0 after downgrading connector/net and mysql server version
Hi I believe there have been some similar topics regarding connector/ net not supporting server versions prior to 5.0.
I have been trying add in a connection to a database in visual studio 2013 and I am not able to connect due to the server version being 4.1.2 I am unable to upgrade this databases server as its out of my hands.
What I have done is follow the suggested answers which is downgrade the connector/ net prior to 5.0 and downgrade the mysql server to 4.1.
I have added in the reference and its still giving me the same error.
Can anyone suggest anything else I could try or may be missing?
Cheers guys I'm pretty desperate now!!

See MySQL Connector/Net Developer Guide - Connector/Net Versions. This document contains table that shows the .NET Framework version required, and the MySQL Server version supported by Connector/Net.
For MySQL Server 4.1 you may need to install Connector/NET v. 6.2 and .NET Framework 2.x

what you must do is, install a lower NuGet that supports the version you have of maria db, in my case, I install the MySql.Data.EntityFramework 8.0.11 and it will work without problem.
