Connection string:
"Data Source=GEMSFAMILY\GEMSFAMILY;Initial Catalog=My-MSI.Net;User
ID=**********;Password=***********;provideerName=System.Data.EntityClient"

What I am getting when I run the site:
"The connection string 'EFDbContext' in the application's configuration file does not contain the required providerName attribute."

The way things are configured in the Weg.config file are:
<configuration>
<connectionStrings configSource="App_Data\My-MSI.Private.config" />

The connection string provided above is from this file!

You have "provideerName=System.Data.EntityClient", should be "providerName=System.Data.EntityClient

Here is the real connection string in context:

<connectionStrings>
<add name="EFDbContext" connectionString="Data Source=GEMSFAMILY\GEMSFAMILY;Initial Catalog=My-MSI.Net;User
ID=***********;Password=***********;providerName=System.Data.EntityClient" />
</connectionStrings>

There must be something else wrong with this and I know that the user name and password are NOT part of the problem becuase I connect the the DB from VS 2010 with that user name and password!

Everything stated in my initial message still applies.
