Entity framework falling over

Question

When I publish my website and put it on the live server the site falls over with the error below. The code works fine localy in visual studio and I have checked my server has connectivity to the database. The entity data model is in the APP_code file. Possibly that is wrong? Thanks

Schema specified is not valid. Errors: 
App_Code.portal.msl(26,12) : error 2019: Member Mapping specified is not valid. The type 'Edm.DateTimeOffset[Nullable=False,DefaultValue=,Precision=]' of member 'updated' in type 'fldtportalModel.accounting_traffic' is not compatible with 'MySql.timestamp[Nullable=False,DefaultValue=,Precision=0]' of member 'updated' in type 'fldtportalModel.Store.accounting_traffic'.

EDIT Just to clarify im using exactly the same databse on live and on my local.

Answer 1

Did you read the exception message?

Your DateTimeOffset field in the model is not compatible with the timestamp field in the database.

Answer 2

Even I had got a similar error

Error 2 Error 2019: Member Mapping specified is not valid. The type 'Edm.Int32[Nullable=False,DefaultValue=]' of member 'AllowedProjects' in type 'VanillaBugsDbModel.CompanyProfile' is not compatible with 'MySql.smallint[Nullable=False,DefaultValue=]' of member 'allowedProjects' in type 'VanillaBugsDbModel.Store.companyprofile'.

Thanks to this comment on the marked answer I was able to get this fixed.

It was probably because the schema or MySQL DLL version is different.
