The MySQL database I want to use is using SSH tunneling and the MySQL connector provided from MySQL only allows normal connection. Can I somehow work around the SSH tunneling so I can connect Visual Studio with the database?

Thank you :)

You can configure an SSH tunnel using PuTTY or similar such that localhost:5555 maps to your.server.com:3306 via an ssh tunnel. Then just point Visual Studio at localhost:5555 as though there were an actual mysql service listening there.
