I am developing an WPF application with EF 6 database first approach, I am have 1 project in my solutions, if i run my project this error always appear.
The context is being used in Code First mode with code that was generated from an EDMX file for either Database First or Model First development. This will not work correctly. To fix this problem do not remove the line of code that throws this exception. If you wish to use Database First or Model First, then make sure that the Entity Framework connection string is included in the app.config or web.config of the start-up project. If you are creating your own DbConnection, then make sure that it is an EntityConnection and not some other type of DbConnection, and that you pass it to one of the base DbContext constructors that take a DbConnection. To learn more about Code First, Database First, and Model First see the Entity Framework documentation here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=394715

Step 1 − First, create the console application from File → New → Project… Step 2 − Select Windows from the left pane and Console Application from the template pane. Step 3 − Enter EFCodeFirstDemo as the name and select OK. Step 4 − Right-click on your project in the solution explorer and select Manage NuGet Packages…
In code first approach first we create classes (Code) and using this code database will be get generated. We need not use edmx file in code first approach.
The context class in Entity Framework is a class which derives from System. Data. Entity. DbContextDbContext in EF 6 and EF Core both. An instance of the context class represents Unit Of Work and Repository patterns wherein it can combine multiple changes under a single database transaction.
edmx is basically an XML file which is generated when we added Entity Framework model. It is Entity Data Model Xml which contains designer (Model) and code file(. cs).
My mistake was using standard connection string in constructor
(Server = test\test; Database = DB; User Id = test_user;Password = test),
but Entity Framework needs different format
(metadata=res://*/DBModel.csdl|res://*/DBModel.ssdl|res://*/DBModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="data source=test\test;initial catalog=DB;integrated security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;App=EntityFramework""" providerName = ""System.Data.EntityClient)
Edit: Changed code to be formatted as code so it's easier to read.

EF makes assumptions based on the presence or absence of a metadata section in the connection string. If you receive this error you can add the metadata section to the connection string in your config file.
E.g. if your connection string looks like this:
<add name="MyModel" connectionString="data source=SERVER\INSTANCE;initial catalog=MyModel;integrated security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;App=EntityFramework" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> Prepend metadata=res://*/MyModel.csdl|res://*/MyModel.ssdl|res://*/MyModel.msl; so that it looks like this:
<add name="MyModel" connectionString="metadata=res://*/MyModel.csdl|res://*/MyModel.ssdl|res://*/MyModel.msl;data source=SERVER\INSTANCE;initial catalog=MyModel;integrated security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;App=EntityFramework" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> If you love us?
