Keyword not supported: "data source" initializing Entity Framework Context

I'm initializing Entity Framework Object context, and this gives me the keyword not supported error:

metadata=res://*/MainDB.csdl|res://*/MainDB.ssdl|res://*/MainDB.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=D:\Workspace\vs\Leftouch\Leftouch.Web\Data\Leftouch.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True;App=EntityFramework"

I took the connection string directly from web.config which was working, and modified only the path to the file (which I set dynamically), and instead of using the default value, used this connection string explicitly. What could cause this error?

Make sure you have Data Source and not DataSource in your connection string. The space is important. Trust me. I'm an idiot.

Just use \" instead ", it should resolve the issue.
