Upgrading Entity Framework 4.3.1 to 5.0.0 beta 1 gives binding redirects error - entity-framework

Question

My solution uses Entity Framework 4.3.1. I want to upgrade to 5.0.0 beta-1. The package manager gives the following output:
PM> Install-Package -IncludePrerelease EntityFramework
You are downloading EntityFramework from Microsoft, the license agreement to which is available at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=242870. Check the package for additional dependencies, which may come with their own license agreement(s). Your use of the package and dependencies constitutes your acceptance of their license agreements. If you do not accept the license agreement(s), then delete the relevant components from your device.
Successfully installed 'EntityFramework 5.0.0-beta1'.
Successfully removed 'EntityFramework 4.3.1' from PROJECTNAME.
Successfully added 'EntityFramework 5.0.0-beta1' to PROJECTNAME.
Failed to generate binding redirects for 'PROJECTNAME'. 'object' does not contain a definition for 'References'
Successfully uninstalled 'EntityFramework 4.3.1'.
It looks like the upgrade completed succesfully, but I wonder how I could have prevented this error.

Answer 1

You should enable automatic binding redirection manually. To do this:
In Visual Studio, in Solution Explorer, right-click the project and choose "Unload Project".
Add the following element to the property group (under the tag) in XML code:
<AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>true</AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>
The following shows an example project file with the element inserted:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="12.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\$(MSBuildToolsVersion)\Microsoft.Common.props" Condition="Exists('$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\$(MSBuildToolsVersion)\Microsoft.Common.props')" />
<PropertyGroup>
<Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">Debug</Configuration>
<Platform Condition=" '$(Platform)' == '' ">AnyCPU</Platform>
<ProjectGuid>{123334}</ProjectGuid>
...
<AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>true</AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>
</PropertyGroup>
...
</Project>
Right click the project and choose "Reload Project".
Compile your app.
