This has been asked a few times but I haven’t been able to make any of the suggestions work for me.

I have a website and SQL database that I’ve build locally and now deployed into Azure. The database is a linked resource to the website. I am able to browse the website and I’m even able to connect and run queries against the database using ADO.Net and a standard connection string.

The problem is when I try to connect using Entity Framework I keep getting Keyword not supported: ‘metadata’. I’ve removed the multiple active record sets and tried replacing " with ‘ but it hasn’t work. I’m completely stuck for ideas.

    Here is my connection string defined in the Azure portal, for a DatabaseFirst approach :

    metadata=res://*/mySuperModel.csdl|res://*/mySuperModelModel.ssdl|res://*/mySuperModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="Data Source=tcp:myServerName.database.windows.net,1433;Initial Catalog=myDatabaseName;User ID=myUserName@myServerName;Password=myPasswordHere;"

    Compare with yours and note that the connection type is “custom” in the azure portal.
