Hello Melbin,

Could you please check you connection string in Web.config ?

If you are using provider name in your config then please use below,
```
providerName = System.Data.EntityClient
```
if you are using ado. net then
```
providerName = System.Data.SqlClient
```
Your connection string should be like below,
