unable to retrieve metadata for unrecognized element providers in asp.net MVC

I recently updated entity framework version 5, afterwards whenever tried to add a controller with the entity framework template I got this error message. This issue was resolved by removing <providers> from the <entityFramework > section.

Problem:

<entityFramework>

    <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.LocalDbConnectionFactory,EntityFramework">

      <parameters>

        <parameter value="v11.0" />

      </parameters>

    </defaultConnectionFactory>

    <providers>

      <provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices,EntityFramework.SqlServer" />

    </providers>

  </entityFramework>

Solution:

  <entityFramework>

    <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.LocalDbConnectionFactory,EntityFramework">

      <parameters>

        <parameter value="v11.0" />

      </parameters>

    </defaultConnectionFactory>

  </entityFramework>

Again, if you are facing any problem I recommended following steps:

Step 1: You to delete the files from bin folder and building the project. Check bin folder if your project dll is excluded, then include it and rebuild the project.

Step 2: Close the project and reopen it.
