    I'm working in MVC and Azure and I made a change to a controller (not the web.config) and something must have happened to my connection string as I get the error:

    Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0.

    This is my connection string:

    <connectionStrings>
    <add name="MyDbEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/Infrastructure.MyDbModel.csdl|res://*/Infrastructure.MyDbModel.ssdl|res://*/Infrastructure.MyDbModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;data source=mydb.database.windows.net;initial catalog=Mydb;user id=myusername;password=mypassword;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;App=EntityFramework&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
</connectionStrings>

    I know this error usually means a typo in the string or something but any ideas?

    Thanks in advance
    Adam

    Visual Studio 2015 automagically modified it and then when I got rid of it and went to publish again Visual Studio automagically re-generated it. Works now but I don't see what I did to cause the issue...it just does things for you.
