Fix: The type or namespace name 'EntityDataSource' does not exist
Today’s stupid mistake had me going in circles in my Web application project. The error message was:
The type or namespace name 'EntityDataSource' does not exist…
As the rest of the error message suggests, I must be missing an assembly reference. Nope, I’d already added in the references to Entity:
System.Data.Entity
System.Data.Entity.Design
After much frustration until after 1 a.m., I gave up and went to bed.
This morning I realized that what it wanted was the WEB Entity!
System.Web.Entity
System.Web.Entity.Design
Sheesh! Am I the only one who makes these ridiculous errors or just the only one who posts them for all to read????
