MVC Scaffolding Does Not Support Entity Framework 6

Question

I am trying to add a controller with read / write actions and views using the Entity Framework.

But when I try to do this, VS2012 tells me that "MVC scaffolds do not support Entity Framework 6 or later." I read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2816241 and tried to remove EntityFramework 6 and install 5 in the Nuget Manager console:

PM> Remove EntityFramework package -force Removing "EntityFramework 6.0.2" from OnlinebookingAdministrator. Removed "EntityFramework 6.0.2" from OnlinebookingAdministrator. Uninstall "EntityFramework 6.0.2". Remote uninstall "EntityFramework 6.0.2".

PM> Install-Package EntityFramework -version 5.0.0 "EntityFramework 5.0.0" is already installed. Adding "EntityFramework 5.0.0" to the OnlinebookingAdministrator. Successfully added “EntityFramework 5.0.0” to OnlinebookingAdministrator.

But the error appears when I try to add a controller. Is there a solution for this?

Answer 1

I am afraid that I do not have the perfect solution to your problem, but I think I have a pretty decent solution:

I have had a lot of arguments lately with MVC Scaffold-er by default, I would recommend installing MVCScaffolding via NuGet and using the console to create everything you need.

Steps to fix:

• Install MVCScaffolding with NuGet

  PM> Install-Package MvcScaffolding 

• Run the following command using the package manager console, replacing ModelName with the name of the model you want to create Controllers / Views for.

   PM> Scaffold Controller ModelName 

• Learn basic MVCScaffolding commands

Have you tried http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=276833 ?

You must manually raise your sights or use Entity Framework 5 for scaffolding. After you raise your application, you can use Entity Framework 6.
