LINQ The type or namespace "School Model" could not be found

hi Expert,

I have this line in error

public class StudentController : Controller
{

SchoolModel db = new SchoolModel();

The type or namespace "School Model" could not be found

I have person.edmx under Models, only contains person table in school database

Model NameSpace is "SchoolModel"

Web.config

<add name="SchoolEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/Models.Person.csdl|res://*/Models.Person.ssdl|res://*/Models.Person.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="data source=DSHH;initial catalog=School;integrated security=True;multipleactiveresultsets=True;App=EntityFramework"" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />

Thanks in advance.

If your edmx is named "person" then I suspect your ObjectContext is something like personEntities, not SchoolModel. However, without seeing the project I can't tell for sure.

Try this...

Open you EDMX in the designer. On the background of the EDMX (NOT the table definition) right-click and select Properties. In the Properties window look at the value of "Entity Container Name." That's the thing you need to instantiate.

According to your config your entity model is of type SchoolEntities not SchoolModel, so try:

SchoolEntities db = new SchoolEntities()

Open in new window

hi Experts,

I tried SchoolEntities db = new SchoolEntities();

and it still say The type or namespace "SchoolEntities" could not be found.

After word new, I can see
SchoolEntities on the select object list but somehow visual studio couldn't recognized it.

I use 2010 visual studio and 2012 sql server.

any more suggestion?

Thank you

I attached screen shot and I followed this online tutorial

http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/older-versions/getting-started-with-mvc/getting-started-with-mvc-part1

I couldn't add new Movie table by follow the tutorial

so instead use Movie list and I use person table already in School database.

Thanks,
