  Adding Assembly To MVC4 App

  Aug 29, 2012 04:31 PM|LINK

  I'm getthing the following error when interacting with a model generated using EF

  CS0012: The type 'System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EntityObject' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Data.Entity, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.

  
  

  I've right clicked - add reference - System.Data.Entity, and took a wild guess at the following to the sites root web.config.

  <runtime>
  <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
  /* omitted some dependentAssemblies */
  <dependentAssembly>
  <assemblyIdentity name="System.Data.Entity" publicKeyToken="b77a5c561934e089" />
  <bindingRedirect oldVersion="3.0.0.0" newVersion="4.0.0.0" />
  </dependentAssembly>
  
  </assemblyBinding>
  
  </runtime>

  
  
  

  
  

  But still get the same error. Is web.config the correct place to add an assembly in an MVC4 app?

  
  

  Thanks
