Attempting to install SQL Server Compact Edition failed because the installer said it needed VS2010 SP1. Attempting to install that became a nightmare--hours went by, install never completed. Cancel sat there for hours, also not completing. Frustrating to say the least and I still can't proceed with the tutorial.

They are found in the EntityFramework.dll. That DLL is downloaded for you when you create a new MVC 3 project when you have installed MVC 3 tooling update. Click on the WPI link on the top of this page to update your prerequisites.

You can also download EntityFramework from Tools\Library Package Manager\Add Library Package Reference ...

In the left pane click Online, then select EntityFramework.

David Pallmann: Server Compact Edition failed because the installer said it needed VS2010 SP1

Yes, it needs SP1 which can take a very long time to download/install. I would try it again and leave it overnight.

If I don't I get the error that the price should be a number (and I tried 9,99 and 9.99, but get the error anyway). After changing my web.config I can enter 9.99 as the price.

Q2: What do I have to change when my table is called MoviesTB instead of Movies?

"using System.Data.Entity"

- Right click References in your project

- Select Add References

- .NET tab scroll down to System.Data.Entity

1. Update Movies.cs by adding the statement:

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

2. Add this annotation to the Title property:

[Key] (place this text above the line: public string Title { get; set; }

3. Rebuild your solution.

I found the solution here:

forums.asp.net/

Set my connection string to this and it works: <add name="MovieDBContext" connectionString="data source=X-PC;Integrated Security=SSPI;User Instance=true; Initial Catalog=X" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

I'm having an error when creating the MovieController.

I'm using SQl server 2008 which in included in VS 2010 ultimate edition.

So I tried to change my connexion string with "providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" instead of "System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0"

It didn't work so I changed the connectionString parameter to "connectionString="data source=X-PC;Integrated Security=SSPI;User Instance=true; Initial Catalog=X"

I still get this error:

"Unable to retrive metadata for 'MVCMovie.Models.Movie'. The provider did not return a ProviderManifestToken string."

Waiting for your help

- installed Entity Framework 4.1 from

msdn.microsoft.com/

- in the Movie project added the reference to Syste.Data.Entity

- then had the 4.1 Entity framework DLL as a reference but had to browse to the DLL file at

\windows\microsoft.net\assembly\GAC_MSIL\entityframework\v4.0_4.1.....\Entityframework.dll

This solved it for me. Good luck!

Is there anything to do on the SQL side?

Turns out I didn't have SQL Server Compact 4.0, which is mentioned at the beginning of part 1. After installing, I used the connection string provided above in Scott's tutorial and all was well.

www.microsoft.com/

If the issue is that you'd like to use SQL server 2008, I don't know a thing about that :)

www.microsoft.com/

I hope this helps everyone who is new to ASP.NET MVC

I am trying to figure out how it knows not to include ID property in the view. I realize it shouldn't display, just wondering how it knows to only display 4 out of the 5 properties (Title, ReleaseDate, Genre, and Price) I couldn't find anything in the code that says exclude the ID prop. Is there something magic about using an int, or the word ID??

Just wondering,

Bonnzo

Look in the view, ID isn't included. That automatic scaffolding that created the view make the correct assumption that ID should not be displayed.

I'm using vs2010 on windows 7 home premium with sql express 2008.

I had installed mvc3 using AspNetMVC3Setup as toolsupdate failed to install.

I put in the code for the db stuff and got an error about .Entity not being found. I have developed earlier and everything was installed and I remembered it working. I was EXTREMELY frustrated as a result and finally found the answer after an hour of wanting to recursively delete this server's hard drive.

I hope this helps you, I registered just to post this.

1) Ensure NuGet Package Manager is installed ("Tools" -> "Extension Manager...")

2) This is what got me, Ensure that Nuget Package Manager is UPDATED. ("Tools" -> "Extension Manager..." -> Updates tab. Click [Update] if yours is out of date.

3) Install the reference package "EntityFramework". ("Tools" -> "Library Package Manager" -> "Manager NuGet Packages..." -> Select "Online" tab and search for "EntityFramework" --> Install, Vuala.

Without doing so the lists of classes are not updated and you will be unable to select the ones needed on the first step of the next tutorial.

Solved it by installing the files listed on top of the page.(most notably SQL Server Compact 4.0)

I had 3.5, but apparently that didn't work with the given connection string.

I found another download for this software at www.microsoft.com/ and saved the installer to my desktop. I installed it from there. It was very quick and easy. After I installed the software, this portion of the tutorial worked as expected.

Hope this helps anyone who is having trouble installing SQL Server Compact 4.0.
