Create CRUD Controller

I have split my mvc4 application in two projects. One main and one Model which is referenced in main project. However when I try to create a CRUD controller I get an exception in ControllerWithContext.tt(-1,-1) ,

FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assebmly .... or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

What is wrong?

I think the problem is from the EF connection string. Usually, when you want to use an embedded resource, you should set the Metadata in the EF ConStr like the following:

Metadata=res://<assemblyFullName>/<resourceName>.

You also can use the * wildcard instead of <assemblyFullName> like the following:

Metadata=res://*/model.csdl| ...

Where model is the name of youe .EDMX file. It causes the EF to search the following locations for the file at runtime:

  • The calling assembly.
  • The referenced assemblies.
  • The assemblies in the bin directory of an application.

If you are trying to get a model from another project, you should enter the full name of your project in the metadata:

Metadata=res://MyModelPrj/model.csdl | ...

Finally, if your solution contains just a .EDMX file, you can simply use the following:

Metadata=res://*/

Note that this works only if you have only one model in the whole solution. If you have more than one model in your solution, It just cause another error...!
