 ## Troubleshooting
 
 If you run into a problem you can't resolve, you can generally find the solution by comparing your code to the [completed stage](https://github.com/aspnet/Docs/tree/master/aspnetcore/data/ef-rp/intro/samples/StageSnapShots) or [completed project](https://github.com/aspnet/Docs/tree/master/aspnetcore/data/ef-rp/intro/samples/cu-final). For a list of common errors and how to solve them, see [the Troubleshooting section of the last tutorial in the series](xref:data/ef-mvc/advanced#common-errors). If you don't find what you need there, you can post a question to StackOverflow.com for [ASP.NET Core](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/asp.net-core) or [EF Core](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/entity-framework-core).
