Hi!
I have a class library with my reports in it. I have another project where my entitymodel is in. In my reports project I've added a reference to the project where my entitymodel is in. I've also added the connection string to the reports project and rebuild the project. In my project I try to use an entitydatasource. I can select the connectionstring from the web.config, but if I click next, the Object Context is empty and I can't select anything.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Hi Marlou,
Check the help topic about retrieving data from an entity data model with the EntityDataSource component in our documentation, which discusses more in-depth how to extend your ObjectContext with a method to execute a custom business logic against the entity model and how to invoke that method using the EntityDataSource component.

Hi, I have exactly the same problem as Marlou.
I've tried a few hours to find a solution for the problem - but wasn't successful.
@Steve, is your advice then, to do it in code behind instead of the Designer?
PS: I am using Q3 2012 and VS2012 .net 4.5
EDIT: Finally I found the problem:
EF 5.0 is generating a DBContext instead of an ObjectContext per default, which was new to me.
