    <p><strong>Background information</strong>:</p> <p>I bought a 1.5 GB database on a web hosting server. It only gave me the permission to get access to the database. </p> <p><strong>Problem</strong>:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/BOajS.jpg" alt="Database connection error"></p> <p>You may not understand the Chinese characters, but you do know the mean of the last sentence and that is the key point of this error.</p> <p><strong>Reason</strong>:</p> <p>This happened when EF is trying to retrieve database information from the web server. As you can see it is trying to get the information of tables from the master database and INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES view. This is the thing which caused this problem, because I am not granted to access to that database.</p> <p>So I hope I explained this problem clearly.</p> <p><strong>Workaround</strong>:</p> <p>I found a way to solve it. Create the EF on your own local database with exactly same database structure(same tables, same columns etc.) and then change the connectionString to point to the web Server.</p> <p><strong>Problem</strong>:</p> <p>Whenever there are changes on the database and you want to update the EF DataContext structure, it will always go to the master database and that view to get the information, so you have to change the connectionString back and forth. It has become trivial.</p> <p><strong>Question</strong>:</p> <p>Is there any other way to do it? I found that LINQ2SQL doesn't have this problem because it doesn't automatically retrieve information from database. Instead, users have to drag the tables they want to use.</p> <p>I am looking forward to any brilliant answers.</p> <p>Cheers</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
