I believe there are two versions 1 and 2? And version 2 is referred to as Entity Framework 4.0?

How can I tell what version is being used in an application?

This is in my web.config does this mean I am using version 2?

<add assembly="System.Data.Entity, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />

if you are using EF core this command below could help 

dotnet ef --version

   internal static string GetEntityFrameworkVersion()
    {
        var version = "";
        var assemblies = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies().Select(x => x.FullName).ToList();
        foreach(var asm in assemblies)
        {
            var fragments = asm.Split(new char[] { ',', '{', '}' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).Select(x=> x.Trim()).ToList();
            if(string.Compare(fragments[0], EntityFramework, true)==0)
            {
                var subfragments = fragments[1].Split(new char[] { '='}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
                version =subfragments[1];
                break;
            }
        }
        return version;
    }

In Solution Explorer Under Project Click on Dependencies->NuGet->Microsoft.NetCore.All-> Here list of all Microsoft .NetCore pakcages will appear. Search for Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore(2.0.3) in bracket version can be seen Like this

For .NET Core, this is how I'll know the version of EntityFramework that I'm using. Let's assume that the name of my project is DemoApi, I have the following at my disposal:

  1. I'll open the DemoApi.csproj file and take a look at the package reference, and there I'll get to see the version of EntityFramework that I'm using.
  2. Open up Command Prompt, Powershell or Terminal as the case maybe, change the directory to DemoApi and then enter this command: dotnet list DemoApi.csproj package
