Can anyone help me or give me an example I can use to manage this.

I have created a project and added the datasource and created the ado.net entities.

The edmx file was successfully made and my namespace is eImageModel but when I create a new class file and do using eImageModel I get

Error    1    The type or namespace name 'eImageModel' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)  

Why is this happing am I missing something?

I have been following this website:

http://naspinski.net/post/Getting-started-with-Linq-To-Entities.aspx

Thanks for any help.

Hi

Open your edmx.designer.cs file and check namespace written on that. That'll be different than edmx file name.

Use that namespace that will work.

MARK THIS AS ANSWER IF IT HELPS YOU

You may need to full qualify your namespace.  So your namespace could be eImageModel, but qualify that by the project name.  So if your application is MyWebApp use MyWebApp.eImageModel.

Thanks for the replys.

I am pretty sure I am using the namespace of the entity.

[global::System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EdmEntityTypeAttribute(NamespaceName="eImageModel", Name="Files")]

I would imagine eImageModel is the name space?

Even trying the two following namespace using I can't get thi working.

using eImage.eImageModel; or

using eImageModel;

Forgot to mention that I have the following using controls, am I missing one?

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data.Objects;
using eImageModel; <- Failling for some reason

Also I am working with .net 3.5 if that makes any difference?

No This is not the namespace that you are using.

Namespace should be just be below these global declarations

[global::System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EdmEntityTypeAttribute(NamespaceName="eImageModel", Name="Files")]

Namespace name should be below this and above your partial class .

If it no there do like this 

[global::System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EdmEntityTypeAttribute(NamespaceName="eImageModel", Name="Files")]

/****New Added line **/

namespace YourNameSpace   //it should use in Using cluase on pages.

{

/********/

public partial class YourDataContextName : global::System.Data.Objects.ObjectContext

{....}

/****closing braces of namespace added **/

 }

/********/

If you're still having issues you can use the built-in resolve namespace feature inside of studio.  Type the name of your class, make sure you have the case correct, right click on the typed class name abd in the dialog box you should see a Resolved option.  See the screen shot below:
