In MVC 2 I am working on something and have ran into a snag.

In MVC 2 I am working on something and have ran into a snag. I got my repository put instead of putting in the same class the interface is I have it same project as the EDMX file.

Initializing StructureMap is what’s killing me at this point. Here’s where I’m initizing StructureMap (in Global.asax.cs.)

ObjectFactory.Initialize(x =>
    {
        x.ForRequestedType<IUnitOfWorkFactory>()
            .TheDefaultIsConcreteType<EFUnitOfWorkFactory>()
            .CacheBy(InstanceScope.HttpContext);

        x.ForRequestedType(typeof(IRepository<>))
            .CacheBy(InstanceScope.HttpContext)
            .TheDefaultIsConcreteType(typeof(GenericRepository<>));
    });

The Namespace for this project is GpdsCreationTaxidermy.Data (which is the same Namespace as my GenericRepository.cs). I would post the code for this file but I dont believe that is the problem here. In my Global.asax I import the proper Namespace

using GodsCreationTaxidermy.Data;

The error I’m getting is:

Error 3 The type or namespace name
‘GenericRepository’ could not be found
(are you missing a using directive or
an assembly reference?)

Also attached is an image showing this particular projects layout

Can someone help with this issue, or what I’m doing wrong here

EDIT I have even tried adding GodsCreationTaxidermy.Data to the file name and still no luck.

    Thanks for sending the files 🙂

    It looks like the definition of GodsCreationTaxidermy.Data has changed.

    This is what I did to fix the problem:

    Remove these references from GodsCreationTaxidermy.Data.Repository Class Library:

    • GodsCreationTaxidermy.Data
    • GodsCreationTaxidermy.Data.Repository

    Remove these references from GodsCreationTaxidermy.Data Class Library:

    • GodsCreationTaxidermy
    • GodsCreationTaxidermy.Data

    Remove the reference to GodsCreationTaxidermy.Data in the GodsCreationTaxidermy MVC project and re-add the reference, choosing GodsCreationTaxidermy.Data from the Project tab

    Hopefully that’ll get the GenericRepository working 🙂

    I did notice that the following line no longer works though:

    EFUnitOfWorkFactory.SetObjectContext(() => new GodsCreationTaxidermyEntities());

    GodsCreationTaxidermyEntities doesn’t seem to exist in GodsCreationTaxidermy.Data any more. Does that cause you an issue?
