VS2010 MVC and Entity Framework Model in Separate Project

Question

Hi, I am trying to use an Entity Framework Model (in separate project) into an asp.net 4 MVC project (VS2010, C#) If I create the EF inside the MVC project I have no problems. I think I am missing some step.

things done: 1. added reference to the EF class project 2. added connection string in MVC web.config 3. added reference to System.Data.Entity in both web.config and project references

Now i can use the model only if I copy the .edmx file to the Models folder, but in this way the EF project is not external anymore.

What am I missing? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Have you set the entity model to create public classes? (Set in the models properties, and each of its entities.)

Answer 2

You may use with DLL for sharing other projects.
