Why is my WebForms app accessing entity framework to create a database? I have removed all references to EF in my code and web.config. I'm trying to use InProc session state. But when my session expires or the app pool recycles any calls from the browser result in a long spin and ultimately an exception from EF trying to create a database. (see below)
