I made an ADO.NET Entity, generated from a database but i cant use it?

Question

Sorry for the noob question. im new and i cant figure this out on google.

The thing is, i used to right click the project go add > new item > ADO.NET Entity and then i choose to generate it from database , afterwards i start using it by typing :

TheEntityName something = new TheEntityName();

but now, for some reason, whenever i type the entity name i get an error that says that it doesnt exist in the current context ?

any idea ?

Answer 1

You need to know the namespace of your entity. Once you know that you have two options. One is adding a using statement in your view

@using namespace

Or use the fully qualified name...

Namespace.entity
