    <p>I must have changed something somewhere, but damned if I can figure out what it is.</p> <p>I have a DAL that handles all my data access (as is a DAL's wont) to my SQL Server DB. This includes the Entity Model, the repository classes and the connection string in the App.Config file.</p> <p>Somewhere along the piece, I must have changed something and am now getting the following exception every time I try to view a page on my MVC application:</p> <blockquote> <p>The specified named connection is either not found in the configuration, not intended to be used with the EntityClient provider, or not valid.</p> </blockquote> <p>This is any page that inherits <code>&lt;IEnumerable&lt;DataAccess.Layer.Class&gt;&gt;</code>. What am I missing?</p> <p><em>Connection String:</em></p> <pre><code>&lt;add name="JobTrackEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/JobTrackDataModel.csdl|res://*/JobTrackDataModel.ssdl|res://*/JobTrackDataModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string='Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=&amp;quot;C:\Users\Phil\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\JobTrack\trunk\JobTrack\App_Data\JobTrack.MDF&amp;quot;;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True'" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" /&gt; </code></pre> <p><em>Designer.cs snippet:</em></p> <pre><code>public JobTrackEntities() : base("name=JobTrackEntities", "JobTrackEntities") { this.OnContextCreated(); } /// &lt;summary&gt; /// Initialize a new JobTrackEntities object. /// &lt;/summary&gt; public JobTrackEntities(string connectionString) : base(connectionString, "JobTrackEntities") { this.OnContextCreated(); } /// &lt;summary&gt; /// Initialize a new JobTrackEntities object. /// &lt;/summary&gt; public JobTrackEntities(global::System.Data.EntityClient.EntityConnection connection) : base(connection, "JobTrackEntities") { this.OnContextCreated(); } </code></pre>

Guidance
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.
