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

The problem lies in the fact that the file originally EF6.Utility.CS.ttinclude wrong. Even if the variable %VS120COMNTOOLS% is the correct value, the error still occurs.

Blame the two stupid points in the following lines (%VS120COMNTOOLS%..\IDE):

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

If that's the way to fix the error no longer occurs:

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

And the variable %VS120COMNTOOLS% must have the correct value, of course.

The question is old, but the answer is still relevant now, because this error persists, and in the VS2015. Below lines from the ill-fated file:

<#@ assembly name="%VS140COMNTOOLS%..\IDE\EntityFramework.dll" #>
<#@ assembly name="%VS140COMNTOOLS%..\IDE\Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.dll" #>

Sorry.

After copy code just save the file and build the solution it will regenerate the complete .cs file as well.
