Entity Framework - Unable to load the specified metadata resource

Question

I realise that this has been asked a number of times but I just can\'t seem to get the bottom of my issue. I\'m getting the following error stack:

Answer 1

you should specify the assembly fully qualified name and a path to your model file within it(separated by /), not the dll name

connectionString="metadata=res://Name.Of.The.Assembly, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8e2e51fcf4cf363e/Payment.PaymentModel.csdl|.........."

the same for ssdl and msl
