Entity Framework connections strings messing up app.config

Question

I'm using Entity Framework inside a DLL.

VS creates a app.config, but when I run the application I receive this exception.

"The specified named connection is either not found in the configuration, not intended to be used with the EntityClient provider, or not valid."

Answer 1

You need to include that connection string in the start up project of your solution. If it is a Asp.Net WebForms/MVC application include that connection string in the Web.Config file or if it is a Windows or Console App include it in App.Config file.
