I am learning ASP.NET. I came to EntityDataSorce control. I am using EF6. I have read that this control and EF6 have some issues, conflicts, but with the last update to EntityDataSource this issue has solved. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdev/archive/2014/02/28/announcing-the-release-of-dynamic-data-provider-and-entitydatasource-control-for-entity-framework-6.aspx
I am trying to follow above link. First I create an .edmx model
Install new EntityDataSource Contro with NuGet
I added two EntityDataSource controls and changed prefix of one of them to ef. So I have two control one of them is old and other one is new updated
When I click the old one I can see the configuration popup and reach the Configure Data Source screen. But when click on the new one there is no popup. So, how can I configure data source? What is wrong with this?
