The type or namespace name ‘DbContext’ could not be found [closed]

by

I had the same issue. Turns out, you need the EntityFramework.dll reference (and not System.Data.Entity).

I just pulled it from the MvcMusicStore application which you can download from: http://mvcmusicstore.codeplex.com/

It’s also a useful example of how to use entity framework code-first with MVC.
