Entity Framework determine storage version SQL Server 2016

17 November 2016 Celtic-Coder .Net, C#, Entity Framework, SQL Server

Using latest Entity Framework 6.1.3 with Visual Studio 2015 and connecting to SQL Server 2016 developer edition, I had the following error:-

Could not determine storage version; a valid storage connection or a version hint is required.

Fix:-

In Visual Studio Solution Explorer.

Right Click over the Entity Framework .edmx

Open with and select XML Text Editor

Search for "ProviderManifestToken=" and either you will have XXXX or in my case I had 2012 in this value. So I changed it to 2008 and now my code works.
