That's odd as it seems the theme folder does indeed exist. What's the address in the browser's address bar? Is it something like http://localhost:12345/Default.aspx?

Hi Imar,

This is what it is: http://localhost:50147/Site/Reviews/All.aspx

Thanks.

It's weird that you're getting this error only now when adding EF, as that should be completely unrelated to themes.

Have you tried setting the virtual path to / as explained in the exercise on page 242 and further?
