No connection string named "thenameofmyconnection" could be found in the application config file

I am working with entity framework and azure, I got a WCF in a web role which uses methods from the project with entity framework..it seems that I am placing the connection string on the wrong file or that I am defining it wrongly.. it is as follows :

<connectionStrings>
  <!-- Windows Azure SQL Database Connection String -->

  <add name="AMTEntitiesContainer" 
   connectionString="here goes my connection string" 
   providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />

</connectionStrings>

This is inside my app.config file in my entities library project..should it go to into the config of my webrole? or should it go into my WCF service ?

I had this, Simply because I was creating my model incorrectly. I was incorrectly doing:

var model = new ModelName;

Instead of correctly doing:

var model = ModelName.Create();

So this error may be thrown for a simple reason like that

This could be also helpful to understand these things.

I'm sorry for the post, I can not write comments yet.

If it is the WebService that interact with Azure, you need to move this into its Web.config. If it's the application you have another problem.

The connection string should be in the web.config of the WCF service. The EntityFramework project will be executed in-process. The WCF service is the process running.
