entity framework Unable to load the specified metadata resource [duplicate]

by

Craig Stuntz has written an extensive (in my opinion) blog post on troubleshooting this exact error message, I personally would start there.

The following res: (resource) references need to point to your model.

<add name="Entities" connectionString="metadata=
    res://*/Models.WraithNath.co.uk.csdl|
    res://*/Models.WraithNath.co.uk.ssdl|
    res://*/Models.WraithNath.co.uk.msl;

Make sure each one has the name of your .edmx file after the “*/”, with the “edmx” changed to the extension for that res (.csdl, .ssdl, or .msl).

It also may help to specify the assembly rather than using “//*/”.

Worst case, you can check everything (a bit slower but should always find the resource) by using

<add name="Entities" connectionString="metadata=
        res://*/;provider= <!-- ... -->
