    Hello,

    I'm a newbie and I'm trying to do a .NET Web Application with SQL Azure, as in the exemple  (https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/tutorials/web-app-with-sql-azure/ ). But before the section "SET-UP SQL AZURE", when I test the application I get the following error: "The provider did not return a ProviderManifestToken string", and its related to:

    public ViewResult Index()
    {
    return View(db.ToDoItemEntries.ToList());
    }

    Does anyone knows why?

    Thanks!

    Did you find a solution? I had this problem with SQL Server 2012 express and I thought it was because of it, but I've switched back to SQL Server 2008 Express and I have the same problem...

    If you've solved this problem, please tell me how did you do it :)

    I had forgotten that I changed Windows Azure SQL Database password a few days ago and this was causing this error when Today I tried to publish the app again through Visual Studio 2012 RC. I just had to update my connection string with the new password and everything started working again.

    Hope it helps,
