I'm following the MusicStore tutorial I'm already on the Part 8 of the tutorial. I got this error when I tried to add the ShoppingCart class.. I tried to google for a possible solution but failed to find a clean one T_T .. based on my research I'm getting this error because I'm using edmx which is database first instead of code first on the tutorial.
I had this codes added and is having an error on Add() and Remove()

I'm a starter in MVC and hopefully anyone would help me to resolve this.
OK here what I did guys to make it work.. instead of using .Add() I use .AddObject() and instead of using .Remove I use .DeleteObject().. I dont know the reason behind how this things work but atleast it doesn't show an error message anymore.. :P thanks for everyone who helped me.. :)
