Unable to load the specified metadata resource.

[MarkusR]

Good day,

I am using VS2012, .Net 3.5, devart 6.8.

I have a class library that I "Add New Item -> Devart Entity Model"...

It generated the edml. In the startup (WCF Service) project it added the following to the web.config:

<connectionStrings>
<add name="CommPrefConnectionString" connectionString="metadata=res://*/CommPrefModel.csdl|res://*/CommPrefModel.ssdl|res://*/CommPrefModel.msl;provider=Devart.Data.Oracle;provider connection string="User Id=xx_xxx;Password=xxxx;Server=xxxx;Direct=True;Sid=xxxx;Persist Security Info=True""
providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
</connectionStrings>

when I start the service I get the following error:

"Unable to load the specified metadata resource."

I don't see a physical .csdl or .ssdl.

Any thoughts?
