I have problem that says
The specified named connection is either not found in the configuration, not intended to be used with the
EntityClientprovider, or not valid.
My edmx file is in separate project, but that project has connection string in its app.config
What could cause the problem?
Make sure the app.config is in the project which is set to be the startup project.
IF I understand correctly (I hope I do!):
You have two projects:
ApplicationServices (Startup Project)
EntityContainer
MyEdmx.edmx
App.config
When the project starts up, it reads from the web.config file.
You need to make sure the connection string is in the web.config file. I usually remove the app.config from the other projects if I do not plan on using them.
Also double check ApplicationServices project references EntityContainer.
