The provider did not return a ProviderManifestToken string error

Question

I am trying to create a web app using ASP.Net MVC3, Entity Framework and MySQL.

I have added the following code to my Web.Config file.

Answer 1

I know this may be very basic for a couple of you guys, but this exception is also thrown in cases where EF is unable to locate a Connection String to use. If you-re working in a multi-layered application, make sure the connection String is added to your client application, instead of the class library that contains you data access code. Just my 2 cents.
