Answer 1

Posting a stack trace?

Structs.tt can't find a connection string in your app/web.config.

Answer 2

I'm have a problem with the same version and the error I'm getting seems to be coming out of the Structs.tt file. I'm using the Northwind db and only using the Products table (I excluded all other tables). I return Json(Product.All()).

Here's the error:

A circular reference was detected while serializing an object of type 'SubSonic.Schema.DatabaseColumn'.

Here's the Stack Trace:

System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled by user code Message="A circular reference was detected while serializing an object of type 'SubSonic.Schema.DatabaseColumn'."
