CS0311 C# The type cannot be used as type parameter 'TContext' in the generic type or method. EntityFrameworkCore

Stack Overflow Asked by el ahmadi on November 7, 2021

I specify the context class I created in the entity project on the Startup.cs file and the connectionString data I created for connectionString. But why am I getting this error?

ERROR message:

Startup class:

namespace EntityFramework2
{
    public class Startup
    {
        public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
        {
            Configuration = configuration;
        }

        public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }

        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {

Entity configuration:

namespace EntityFramework2
{
    public class EntityConfiguration : IEntityTypeConfiguration<User>
    {
        public void Configure(EntityTypeBuilder<User> builder)
        {
            builder.HasOne<Department>(navigationExpression: s => s.Name)
                .WithOne(sa => sa.User)

            builder.HasOne<Title>(navigationExpression: s => s.TitleCode)
               .WithOne(sa => sa.User)

               .HasForeignKey<Position>(sa => sa.PositionId);
        }
    }

Just make Your Context UserContext inherited from DbContext Class like the following Code and you are good to go:

public class UserContext : DbContext
{
    public UserContext (DbContextOptions<UserContext > options)
        : base(options)
    { }

    public DbSet<User> Users{ get; set; }
}

There is no implicit reference conversion from 'Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Extensibility.Implementation.UserContext' to 'Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbContext'.

The message tells you, that your UserContext class does not inherit from DbContext, which is mandatory.

It should look something like this:

public class BloggingContext : DbContext
{
    public BloggingContext(DbContextOptions<BloggingContext> options)
        : base(options)
    { }

    public DbSet<Blog> Blogs { get; set; }
}

For further information, see the EF Core Tutorial and Configuring a DbContext.

Does Your UserContext inherit DbContext class?
