sharepoint 2010 entity (external content type) cannot be found with namespace =

I was getting this error after redeploying a solution with BDC model. There are few ways described in below posts about fixing them, but in our case they did not work

Finally, we exported the BDC model from dev server central admin site and imported it on the live server central admin site which worked fine...

There might be a better and more ideal solution available to this problem, but for now we are relieved.

Create a SharePoint 2013 app

The posts below explain how to create basic and advanced apps in SharePoint 2013. These apps access SharePoint object model through Client object model or through rest web services or OData model. Thus our code is lot more safe and secure, it can be easily managed and the application as a whole is a lot more flexible. Please note that the basic .Net framework version used is 4.5.
