We decided to migrate from SQL Server Compact to SQL Server Express (possibly LocalDB) as Compact is no longer supported and we believe Express is more feature rich and likely performs better.
I made the changes necessary (although clearly missed something :) ) and the database is recreated as an .mdf file. The problem seems to be when the database is accessed. I get the error I have pasted below. The upshot is that somehow, somewhere I seem to have a reference to a provider with invariant name System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0 when I have no intention of doing so.
I have done research and found these two relevant posts, which are not fully answered:
MVC app erroring on SqlServerCe.4.0 provider after converting to Sql Express
and
Entity Framework using the wrong connection provider
I have tried deleting the migrations and have modified the app.config file. I have also deleted on references to SQL Server Compact from the project references. What else should I be looking at? I'm tearing my hair out over this one.
What other information can I provide?
Thanks,
Dave
P.S. Another way to ask the question would be pointing out that https://stackoverflow.com/users/183934/erikej commented in the links above:
"Obviously you reference sqlce somewhere, either in .settings or in code based configuration DbConfiguration class... – ErikEJ Sep 13 '14 at 6:09 "
Where are all possible places that Compact could be referenced?

Except for the commented out sections, I do not believe I am mentioning SQL Server Compact!
ADDITIONAL INFO IN RESPONSE TO COMMENTS 2
The configuration string used is pulled from a .json file and looks like this:
LocalDbConnection:
Server=(LocalDB)\\MSSQLLocalDB;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=Vax3
Previously I was using:
Data Source=C:\ProgramData\TruMed\AccuVax\AccuVax.sdf;
Clearly there is some concern I'm using the wrong connection string and/or adapter as I'm getting messages about SQL Server Compact. I have searched the code for AccuVax.sdf and have not found any instances. Again, database is created no problem; the problem seems to be accessing it.
We also had the same problem. We tried to migrate from SQL Compact to SQL Express. We chased and removed any reference to SQL Compact in the solution but that was not enough.
Our final move was to clean completely the solution (any visual studio that are not needed to open the solution):
remove obj, debug, release...
remove .vs folder (that's probably the one)
Finally we reopened the solution, tried again and got it work.
Hope it helps.
I playing around with the John Papa's HotTowel application. The HotTowel sample uses local codecamper.sdf database and I am trying to configure it to use the database on a sql server 2008 r2. When I run the application, I am getting an error saying "An exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in Breeze.ContextProvider.EF6.dll but was not handled in user code." The error is occurring in the CodeCamperRepository.cs on the line that says "get {return _contextProvider.Metadata()" code. The inner exception says
The connection string 'CodeCamper' in the application's configuration file does not contain the required providerName attribute."
I have the following code in web.config, but I unsure if it is correct:
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />

</handlers>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Are there any other changes I should look at to make HotTowel connect to Sql Server? what is it that breeze doesn't like about the configuration? Appreciate any insight.
thanks Community

Just like the inner exception says: you need the providerName attribute. So change your ConnectionStrings section to:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="CodeCamper" connectionString="Data Source=testdb\cmstest; Integrated Security=True; MultipleActiveResultSets=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
Just checking, but do you have the CodeCamper connection reference in your DbContext contstructor?
public CCDbContext()
: base("CodeCamper"){ }
How can i set up web.config file to support user membership with roles for my mvc page with only database file as i do not have access to sql server at the moment.

Your web.config looks fine, but you need to set up a connectionString (in your case named ApplicationServices) to point to Sql server that will store membership database.
You can create membership database using a wizard, just run aspnet_regsql from VS cmd. You can read more on MSDN.
I have two level authentification, first the user enters their nt/password and it is validated by LDAP and afterward I have a custom role provider that make sure the user has access to said page.
That being said, in my web.config I have:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/Account.mvc/LogOn" timeout="2880"/>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
<membership defaultProvider="ADMembershipProvider">
<providers>
<add connectionStringName="ADConnString"
name="ADMembershipProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
attributeMapUsername="sAMAccountName"
enableSearchMethods="false"
applicationName="ProgramName"/>
</providers>
</membership>
<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="CustomRoleProvider">
<providers>
<clear />
<add name="CustomRoleProvider"
applicationName="ProgramName"
type="ProgramName.Providers.CustomRoleProvider"
attributeMapUsername="sAMAccountName"
/>
</providers>
</roleManager>
Now, If I try to use the language button while in the login form, it calls an action that is unavailable since the user still isn't LDAP-Authenticated. My question is:
Can I avoid the membership check for specific action like I can for role check using the [Authorize] Attribute?
I tried using:
<location path="~/Home.mvc/ChangeCulture">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
And this doesn't work. The action ChangeCulture is never called.
This answer:
ASP.NET MVC Forms authentication and unauthenticated controller actions
shows how to do it for roles, any idea for membership+roles?
Thanks.
First let me say that I did see this article:
How to remove AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport
However it seems like it fixes the url issue, but not the 302 AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport issue.
I've also read just about every other article on the web about this issue.
I could really use some help here.
This is my web.config
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="6600" />
<membership defaultProvider="MySqlMembershipProvider">
<providers>
<clear />
<add connectionStringName="SimpleTickConnection" applicationName="TheaterSales" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="false" passwordFormat="Hashed" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="15" minRequiredPasswordLength="7" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordAttemptWindow="10" passwordStrengthRegularExpression="" name="MySqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</providers>
</membership>
<anonymousIdentification enabled="true" cookieless="AutoDetect" cookieProtection="All" cookieRequireSSL="false" cookieSlidingExpiration="true" />
To replicate the issue:
http://web-sniffer.net/
and use your url
alt text http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/8615/issue.gif
Ok, I researched on: anonymousIdentification
I removed
cookieless="AutoDetect"
And now the object moved error went away
