Personal Tech Journal

The memories of the last new year 2011 is so fresh in my mind. It just shows how quick the year passed by. There has been always high's and low's in a year. On the professional front i did get a promotion. I did learn new stuff's on the technology front, but not to my expectation. The past year i have been little active on the social media (Twitter, Facebook). On the blog front, i could only manage to make 68 posts. On the personal front i did not take any vacations, that looks bad. On the Spiritual front, i did attend a couple of fasting prayers, sunday services and prayer meetings. Now the past is past, we can only look for a better tommorrow. Hope this year, will try to achieve things i could not in the last year. I am not planning to make any resolutions. I believe the guarding angels will be with me this year and praying to god to help me all my works. Wishing a Blessed and Prosperous Happy New Year 2012 to all my colleagues, readers, family and friends.

While adding a controller in ASP.NET MVC 3 application, you might get a error “Unable to retrieve the metadata for …”. This error is due to the incorrect connection string name or the connection string in the web.config. I had encountered the same error and the issue was that the name of my DBContext was different from that of the web.config connection string name. When I made it same it was able to create the controller.
