Question
When I go to build my project, I get this error:
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'.
I am trying to access my DbContext that I created with EF5.
I tried to add System.Data.Entity.DbContext to my references, but I couldn't find it. What should I do?
Accepted Answer
- Select the project which throws this error
- Go to the menu View -> Other windows -> Package Manager Console
- Make sure your problematic project got selected in the default Project" drop-down in the PMC console.
- then type the command "install-package entityframework -version 5.0.0.0"
It should install the missing version.
