I am working on a web application project and I am using Entity Framework

  • 0

I am working on a web application project and I am using Entity Framework to generate Model from existing database. I have deployed the project in my test environment which is windows 2003. I am sure that the connection string for my model is correct but I can’t see that the project is talking to database (checked in Event Viewer). Is that because the entity framework is only compatible with windows server 2008 and not with windows server 2003?

    You can run it on Windows Server 2003.

    Entity Framework targets at most .NET framework 4.0, which is available on Windows Server 2003.

    I’d suggest to check

    • That the connection string is really correct – do it outside Entity Framework, e.g. if you’re connecting to SQL Server, try opening a connection directly with SqlConnection.
    • Check firewall settings and other permissions.
