Question

Have a class library and a WPF application and am trying to contain all the Entity Framework items within the class library and use an interface to get the info out. Everything is setup but I get this message each time I try it out:

Message “The type initializer for ‘System.Data.Entity.Internal.AppConfig’ threw an exception.”

When I looked at the Inner Exceptions it appeared it couldn’t find version 5.0.0.0 of EntityFramework and when I checked the Reference for it, it was 4.4.0.0. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling EntityFramework via NuGet but having no luck. Any ideas on what to try next?

App Config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<!-- For more information on Entity Framework configuration, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=237468 -->
  <section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=4.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
</configSections>
  <entityFramework>
    <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework" />
  </entityFramework>
</configuration>
