Hi this post is very misleading, if your reading this 2 years on.

With using EF6 and .net 4.5.1 in VS 2013 I have had to reference the following to get this to work

using System.Data.Entity.Core.EntityClient;

a little different to before,

this is more of a FYI for people that come here for help on newer problems than a answer to the original question


Thanks every body! I found the solution. not that I understand why but I tried this and it worked!I just had to add a reference to: System.Data.Entity.Designand don't have to write any using in the code.Thanks!
