    Hi Markus33,

      

    I think you are using Entity framework to access database. The problem might located in the connection string. It might be a valid ADO.NET connection string but not a valid ADO.NET Entity Framework(EF) connection string.

    The error message shows that the inner error is "Keyword not supported: data source".

    That means you might add connection string like below format:

    <add name="ASPNETDBEntities" 
         connectionString="Data Source=XXXX;Initial Catalog=ASPNETDB;Integrated Security=True;" 
         providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />

    However, the EF connection string should looks like:

    <add name="NorthwindEntities" connectionString=
         "metadata=.\Northwind.csdl|.\Northwind.ssdl|.\Northwind.msl;
          provider=System.Data.SqlClient;
          provider connection string=&quot;Data Source=SERVER\SQL2000;Initial Catalog=Northwind;Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=False&quot;" 
          providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" /> 

    For more details about EF connection string, you could refer to this link.

      

    Hope this can help you.

    Best regards,

    Sean
