I am trying to add Scaffolding in visual studio 2013 for a web api 2 project.

-Add controller
-Add web api 2 odata controller with actions, using entity framework

Receiving the error:
"error
There was an error running the selected code generator. 'object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I'm not sure if this is a problem with dotconnect or something else. Do you know if this scaffold should work with your tooling?

Do you have a tutorial that will work with your provider using web api 2 and odata?

Basically, I am trying to get the scaffolding section to work and it does not.

Sorry for the delay. We have reproduced this issue. We will investigate it in more details and inform you about the results as soon as any are available.

We have investigated the issue more clearly. To use this functionality completely it is necessary to:
- use the DbContext template (not EntityObject); if the "Repository And Unit of Work" template is also used, the UseDbContext option of this template should be set to True;
- set the "File Per Class" option of the DbContext template to True, otherwise Visual Studio doesn't detect the necessary classes correctly.

We have changed the behaviour: now the default value for the 'File Per Class' option of the DbContext template is True. The changes are available in the latest build of Entity Developer 5.7.451:
