Metadata file not found - Data.Entity.Model

Question

Anyone having similar problem, while creating webservices?

Compiling transformation: Metadata file \'D:\\Program Files\\VS2013\\Common7\\Tools..\\ID

Answer 1

This worked for me.

1. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Entity Framework Tools\Templates\Includes\EF6.Utility.CS.ttinclude

2. Edit it with Visual Studio.

3. Remove the two dots after the URL, so the new lines like:

   <#@ assembly name="%VS120COMNTOOLS%\IDE\EntityFramework.dll" #>
   <#@ assembly name="%VS120COMNTOOLS%\IDE\Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.dll" #>
   

4. Fix your environment variables to end with directory just befor IDE. In my case

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\
   

5. Rebuild the project or delete the entity framework and recreate it.
