Using Entity Framework inside Server Object Extension ( SOE)

AlirezaAhmadi — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 19:53:13 GMT

I have a model of Entity Framework with a connection string to database in App.Config file within SOE project. When I debug SOE ( Rest Service ) , I get this error:

The specified named connection is either not found in the configuration, not intended to be used with the EntityClient Provider, not valid

How come the connection string in App.Config cannot be found when I call REST Service?

I am able to update the Entity model by right Clicking on .edmx file . It seems the connection defined in App.Config is valid though.

I also followed this thread and i could not find any working solution

Any help?

SOEs and the using Entity Framework

Good afternoon,

I'm attempting to utilize an entity framework within an SOE. I'm developing on Visual Studio 2010. The SOE successfully deploys but when called returns the error:

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

Has anyone ever encountered this before?

Thanks,

have you tried set connection Runtime (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.entityclient.entityconnectionstringbuilder.aspx)

Thanks Ciava! This is what I ended up doing and everything is working as it's supposed to now.
