System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema not found
Solution 1
Are you sure you are targeting .NET 4.5 Framework. ForeignKeyAttribute is only available in .NET 4.5
Solution 2
I reinstalled the Entity Framework and it works!
Solution 3
Your code and the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema
namespace are correct.
So check your references. This one should be in Assembly System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.dll, v4.0.0.0
Did you upgrade the project from Fx 4?
You can fix the version with NuGet.

I am running into an issue in Visual Studio 2012 that involves the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema namespace. It tells me that the ForeignKeyAttribute cannot be resolved, the solution in the past was to add the using statement that is commented out below. VS2012 can't resolve the Schema namespace as VS2010 was able to. Has anything changed in recent .Net releases that would be causing this problem? If so, how do I work around them?
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations; // using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema; namespace Data { public class AffiliateUser { [Key, ForeignKey("User")] public int UserId { get; set; } [StringLength(50)] public string AffiliateUserKey { get; set; } public Guid ApiKey { get; set; } public string PasswordHash { get; set; } public bool IsDeleted { get; set; } } }
