I recently inherited am ASP.NET MVC website to hots on my server from a different team within the organization. The solution was built in VS 2012 and I am testing it in VS 2013 before I start hosting on the serer. There were a number of assembly dependency issues that I have fixed - I updated MVC in Nuget and also had to install and earlier version of EF (4.0.0.0) to get the solution to compile.

Now I am faced with another issue in the Web.Config file. The following screenshot presents the issue I am having:

enter image description here

There are only 3 scenarios that I can think of that is causing this which are the following:

  • 1) Something happened when I updated MVC
  • 2) Something happened when installed EF 4.0.0.0
  • 3) The connection string to the old server is still in Web.Config (the only reason I don't think this is the issue is because the database it is calling is still in existance and the data is still there)

I was hoping somebody with more experience with MVC and/or EF could help me troubleshoot this.

  • @JamieD77 Wow....That worked...I was going to do this but didn't think that was going to solve anything...always just give it a go I guess. If you add an answer I'll accept it...or do you think I should just delete question? – J.S. Orris Jul 27 '15 at 18:41
