How to resolve this Entity Connection Problem ?

Answer 1

If I have problems loading embedded resources I usually use ILDASM or reflector to get the resource name. In EF connection string you can provide a path to artifacts saved as files or embedded resources. res:// indicates embedded resource. After res:// you put exact resource name (as showed by ILDASM). If the resource is in a folder you can use res://*/{resourceName} to say you want to search in all folders.
