    <p>I am struggling with getting a simplemembership scenario working in my EntityFramework / MVC4 / DatabaseFirst project. I've found plenty of examples for working with code first, but nothing for DB first.</p> <p>The problem I'm encountering is the the InitializeDatabaseConnection is throwing an error ("Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed.") The code looks like this :</p> <pre><code>WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection("DALEntities", "tblContacts1", "ContactID", "EMail", autoCreateTables: true); </code></pre> <p>I am not sure what DataProvider is failing. If I try to trace 'into' the InitializeDatabaseConnection call, it immediately throws the error.</p> <p>What am I missing?</p> <p>Info:<br> DALEntities is the name of the connectionString that the rest of EF uses. The following code works just fine....</p> <pre><code> public ActionResult Test() { using (var db = new DALEntities()) { var query = from i in db.TBLINVENTORies orderby i.ITEMNAME select i; var cnt = query.Count(); string str = "Total Inventory: " + cnt; return Content(str); } } </code></pre> <p>My connection strings section from the web.config:</p> <pre><code> &lt;connectionStrings&gt; &lt;add name="DALEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/DAL.DAL.csdl|res://*/DAL.DAL.ssdl|res://*/DAL.DAL.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&amp;quot;data source=SOMECOMPUTER;initial catalog=SOMEDB;persist security info=True;user id=SOMEID;password=SOMEPASS;multipleactiveresultsets=True;App=EntityFramework&amp;quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" /&gt; &lt;/connectionStrings&gt; </code></pre> <p>This post seems to be asking the same question (but in context of model-first), but there is no solution yet : <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12575311/using-simplemembership-with-ef-model-first">Using SimpleMembership with EF model-first</a></p> <p>Also, I see that there is an overload for <code>WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection()</code> with the help text: <code>Initializes the membership system ((blah blah &lt;snip&gt; ProviderName: the name of the ADO.NET data provider. If you want to use Microsoft SQL Server, the WebMatrix.WebData.WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection(String, String, String, String, Boolean) overload is recommended</code> . I <em>do</em> wish to connect to a MSSQL server...will this be required?</p>

    1. COmy projects didn't like using the EF connection string. instead I had to add a second connection string that was SQL connection string (or sql compact). I didn't play with it to much thought so someone else might have a better idea

    3. COyes, that worked to bypass the error, but I don't think its probably a good idea to connect to my EF database without the benefits of EF....?

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
