Answer 1

The error message is telling you that the class library with .edmx data model has the Entity Framework 5 loaded ... (obviously because there are no error messages in the .edmx) ... and your web project is referencing the class library ... so it has access to everything in the class library ... but it cannot handle the data types in the class library because your web project needs a reference to the Entity Framework 5. You will also notice that your intellisense doesn't work for the objects in your class library either.

Simply add a reference in your web project to the entity framework 5 ... and your all set.
