Entity Framework 6 App.config file is not created

0

I was told that

when adding the EF6 nuget package to a project it creates an appropriate config file

I've added the EF6 NuGet package to a project, but the App.config file is nowhere to be found. What am I doing wrong, and is the error below a result of this missing config file (am I chasing the wrong horse)?

The goal is to run the following, View Entity Data Model:

enter image description here

Where the result should look like this:

I get the following cryptic error:

System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsAggregatableProject'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{FFB2E715-7312-4B93-83D7-D37BCC561C90}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).

It is probably due to not pre set the current Data model projects as "startUp project"

So the solution is obvious you should select the model projects the one that contains the Context class and click on that project with "Set as StartUp Projects".

Once you will do so and the exception will be solved.
