I am using linqpad4 with it's CRM 2011 plugin.
I get this error. How to fix it.
Does not contain a definition...and no extension method...
This error means something is changed in CRM schema, customization is published and you're trying to use new attribute in query but LinqPad schema is not updated.
Select the connection from left navigation, Right click and select Connection Properties. Ont he dialog bottom left Click on Refresh Schema. This will update the schema. Now you can work with latest schema.

I have a question similar to this one, but I am using VS 2008 and an Oracle database (with Oracle SQL Developer). How do I get rid of the report credentials in VS? Thank you.
One of the easiest ways to get rid of this is to supply a username and password for the database in question on the reporting server. The URL is usually something like http://localhost/reports. Usually, users created for this type of connection have minimal read-only rights needed for the specific report. The disadvantages to this type of connection is that it's a one-user-fits-all situation. But because of the error message you are getting, it appears that your wish is to supply a specific user name and password rather than use Windows security--which is just fine.
To get here, click Security from the report drop-down list on the main page. Then, click the Credentials stored securely on the report server. Then, here's an issue that get's lots of folks--click the Apply button at the bottom to save the changes. Sometimes the Apply button is not visible and you need to scroll down to click it.
Now, if you're accessing your report through ReportViewer in VS then the following link may provide some help:

Alternately, you can create or add to a web.config file:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.reporting.webforms.ireportservercredentials.aspx
p.s. based on our chat, try adding the following to your web.config connection string--if you have one(with the respective user name and password)--if, indeed you're using Oracle's ODP.net:
providerName="Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client" connectionString="User Id=oracle_user;Password=oracle_user_password

I have not figure out how to solve this from the database. What I did was, comment out this line of code from the XML of the report:
<Prompt>Specify a user name and password for data source XXX</Prompt>
If you have the correct credential info in the <value> tag, your report should be loaded with username and password parameters without problems.
So I am trying to create my ADO Entity data model, and i cant seem to get past the "choose your data connection" page. I choose the correct connection, then click either no or yes for sensitive data, and i click next. However, nothing appears. There is no error message like the common "your project references the latest version of entity framework however an entity framework database provider." It just closes the prompt and returns me to my project.
Has anyone ever seen this before?
If you have such a problem, make sure that the version of the NuGet MySQL EF package matches the version of the MySQL Connector for NET
I inherited a legacy system using Crystal Reports in VS.NET pulling info from an Oracle11g DB.
The database fields are in "REPORT_DATA", I updated the stored procedure which the code is querying to add a field, however I cannot see that new field in the field explorer.
When I click on "Verify Database" and manage to log into the DB I get a "Remove Table" prompt - "The database table "REPORT_DATA" cannot be found. Proceed to remove this table from the report?"
Of course, there is no REPORT_DATA table and there never was.
When I preview the report or put it on the server it works, so there is some behind-the-scenes magic which I don't understand.
Figured it out.
I had to highlight the server name in the “Current Data Source” area and the name of the server in the “Replace With” area on the Set Datasource Location window. Then click the “Update” button.
Since the report wasn't built on my machine it had to be reconfigured - can't figure out why it still connected to the DB when previewing though.
When adding in tables from SQL Server to a dbml, it will drop the 's' off of the table name. One example: when adding the table 'Alias' it will change the name to 'Alia'. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
Method of adding tables:
1) Connect to database in the Server Explorer Tab
2) Open tables folder
3) Select all the tables and drag them to the open dbml window
If you are using entity framework, and adding tables via the update wizard, there is a checkbox which says "Pluralize or singularize generated object names":
You can uncheck that and it will leave your table names alone.
Update: looks like you are drag/dropping to DBML, try this link:
Linq to SQL: How do I stop the auto generated object name from being renamed?
I have an issue and I cannot find out what the problem is. In visual studio 2010 I'm trying to add a new ADO.NET entity data model through the wizard (I'm using Entity Framework 4.1). After the second wizard step (that says "Choose your Data Connection") I press next and the wizard is closed right away, and there are no following steps at all. Here is my entity connection string:
metadata=res://*/DAL.Model1.csdl|res://*/DAL.Model1.ssdl|res://*/DAL.Model1.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="Data Source=DMITRIY-TOSH\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated Security=True"
Is there anything wrong with that connection string? What should I change in it and how? Or what else can be the cause of the problem? Help me with this, please. I don't even know how to make it work to see the next wizard step where I can choose tables.
Found the solution. The folder "App_Data" (with the database inside) wasn't included into the project. Only because of that the wizard did not work.
I had this problem too, all the above didn't work for me. What helped for me was the following.
When you try to connect with a database that database can have different users with different credentials it can accept. Let's say user A till D.
If you try to connect with a user make sure that user has the right credentials enabled, in this case, read and write options enabled.
To do this start MS SQL Server Managment Studio, connected with your SQL server and select the database you try to make a connection with in visual studio. Under 'your_dbname' --> Security --> Users you find a list of users. Rightclick the username you try to login with and select properties. A window opens. Select the 'General' (selected by default) page and under tab 'Database role membership' make sure 'db_datareader' and 'db_datawrite' are selected.
Note: When you log in too MS SQL Server Managment Studio make sure you log in with a user which can enable/disable these options...
I created an empty model, then selected it in 'Model browser', right clicked on it and selected 'Update model from database'. Then I was able to add a table to it...
