Connection string named "thenameofmyconnection" not found in application configuration file

Question

I work with entity infrastructure and azure, I have WCF as a website that uses methods from a project with an entity framework. It seems I am putting the connection string in the wrong file or that I am defining it incorrectly .. it looks like this:

<connectionStrings> <!-- Windows Azure SQL Database Connection String --> <add name="AMTEntitiesContainer" connectionString="here goes my connection string" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" /> </connectionStrings> 

This is inside my app.config file in my object library project ... does it need to go into my webrole configuration? or should he log in to my WCF service?

Answer 1

The connection string must be in the WCF service web.config file. The EntityFramework project will be executed in the process. WCF service is a process.

Answer 2

It can also be helpful in understanding these things.

Sorry for the post, I can not write comments.

Answer 3

If this is a WebService that interacts with Azure, you need to move it to your Web.config. If this is an application, you have another problem.
