.net entity-framework
Question
I've got one solution - the one project is class library with .edmx data model The other is asp.net web forms project.
when i start the solution I get the following exception:
The type 'System.Data.Entity.DbContext' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'EntityFramework, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.
and when I see the references in my asp.net project I see the reference to my class and I can't see reference to entity framework. But the problem is that entity framework is installed both in my class library and web project
