I built a web app in Visual Studio 2019 .net that runs fine when hosted in IIS. The web app connects to a MySql server on my Synology NAS. I want to build a docker image for it to move it to the synology server, but when I try to run the docker image created by Visual Studio I receive the following error when playing the image:

I have tried to install all of the MySql connectors but still can't get it to work. I am very new to docker. As in I have no clue what I am doing. I can get the app to run it just errors out when it goes to a page that tries to connect to the DB.

1. First, please confirm whether you have installed the mysql.net connector. If not, install it.

2. If the installation of mysql.net connector does not work, this may be the case:

If the provider is not registered in one of that files the reported error is thrown.

Please change the following configuration in asp.net web.config like this:

<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
  <remove invariant="Oracle.DataAccess.Client" />
  <add name="Oracle Data Provider for .NET"
          invariant="Oracle.DataAccess.Client"
          description="Oracle Data Provider for .NET"
          type="Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory,
              Oracle.DataAccess,
              Version=2.111.7.20,
              Culture=neutral,
              PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
</DbProviderFactories>

I think I finally figured it out. I was using the Server explorer Data Connections to create the MySql connections, but docker does not like this. So I changed everything to c# code data connections and it is now working in docker.
