Keyword not supported data source, Entity Framework

I know there are a bunch of questions like this on here, but I really cannot figure out how this is not a valid entity conn string. 

metadata=res://*/PLCDB.csdl|res://*/PLCDB.ssdl|res://*/PLCDB.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="data source=****;persist security info=True;user id=***;password=***;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;App=EntityFramework"providerName="System.Data.EntityClient"

I am passing this conn string using 

myPLCDBEntities.Database.Connection.ConnectionString = connstring

As far as I know this is for sure a valid entity conn string as the format matches every other entity conn string I have ever had. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Solution

  • Turns out you don't need to pass the meta data at all when you pass the conn string in this fashion.
