Ch.14

I'm trying to complete the first try it out for chapter 14. I create the ADO.NET entity data model without any issues and can check off both options ("Foreign Keys & Pluralize").

Once I try to complete step 9, it seems that the program cannot find the references that were supposed to be created by the wizard and I am given an error when adding it to the page with "using nameModel;". Does anyone have any idea on what could be the problem? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi there,

Did you follow the exact steps in the book? How did you name the model exactly? And do you get any errors in the Error List? Also, did you check the primary keys on the tables you're adding to the EF diagram?

Hi Imar,

Yes I followed the exact steps, added the ADO.NET Entity Date Model in the App_Code folder. The name for the Model is 'EReceipt' the connection to the database is 'EReceiptConnectionString' and I save the entity in the Web.Config file as 'EReceiptEntities'. I add the tables from the database and check Pluralize and Foreign Key.

The primary keys are correct and I verified by checking it to the Database Diagram. I have no errors in the Error List after saving the EF diagram. I only get errors once I attempt step 9 since it cannot find the reference nor can I add the reference 'EReceiptModel'.

In that case, I don't know what the problem is. Can you send me zipped copy (trimmed down as much as possible by removing irrelavant files / pages)? Then I'll see if I can figure out what's going on.

You find my contact details at the beginning of the book.

Cheers,

Imar
