"Unable to retrieve metadata for 'MvcTest2.Models.Movie'. The provider did not return a ProviderManifestToken string."

Hi,

it was problam with connection string and I have fixed by,
open VS and then switch to View=>Server Explorer and open the Server panel to create a connection, if this successfully, please copy the conn str of the remote one directly into your app or web.config.
