UseSqlServer method missing MVC 6
Solution 1
UseSqlServer
is an extension method in the namespace Microsoft.Data.Entity
so you need to import that in your code, like this:
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
Solution 2
Install Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer 1.0.1 package works for me Version of Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore is 1.1.0
Solution 3
Since this has been posted, assemblies have been renamed. As part of EntityFrameworkCore you now need to add a using statement the following
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
And the .UseSqlServer extension method to configure your context will become available
Solution 4
It's a NuGet Packages Problem
Install the following Packages and with its Proper Versions
1. Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore(Latest Version)
2. Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer(1.0.4 Version)

I am trying to implement Entity Framework 7 in MVC 6, and on this page here it says to do
services.AddEntityFramework() .AddSqlServer() .AddDbContext<MusicStoreContext>(options => options.UseSqlServer(Configuration["Data:DefaultConnection:ConnectionString"]));
But for me, the
UseSqlServer
method isn't visible? Anyone know how to make it visible? Or is this an old way of configuring entity framework?My
startup.cs
file looks like thisusing FluentValidation; using Microsoft.AspNet.Builder; using Microsoft.AspNet.Hosting; using Microsoft.Framework.ConfigurationModel; using Microsoft.Framework.DependencyInjection; namespace me.namespace.project { public class Startup { public static IConfiguration Configuration { get; set; } public Startup(IHostingEnvironment env) { // Setup configuration sources. Configuration = new Configuration() .AddJsonFile("config.json") .AddEnvironmentVariables(); } public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { services.AddMvc(); // entity framework services.AddEntityFramework() .AddSqlServer() .AddDbContext<DataContext>(); } } }
