You do not see the Entity Framework template after installing Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7 64 bits

Question

I just install Visual Studio 2010 on a 64-bit virtual machine with a 64-bit version of Windows 7. The VM is on the ESXi hypervisor. When I tried to create my first project, I do not see the Entity Framework (ADO.NET Entity Framework) template. Did I miss a step here? Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

@ We will be grateful for all the help. I was able to solve this problem by following these steps:

• Reinstall Visual Studio 2010 Professional a. Select Add New Features b. Press until you go to the component selection screen with. deselect and re-select Visual Basic.NET and C #
  e. Click Update
• Log in to Visual Studio 2010 Professional and you will have access to the ADO.NET Entity Framework

Thanks everyone!

Answer 2

I had the same problem. In fact, you have to check Express SQL Server 2008 in Visual Studio installation, or Entity Framework will not be installed.

Answer 3

Make sure you target 4.0, not 3.5.

Answer 4

If I do not understand your question, you need to run the project (web application, wpf application, etc.), and then add the ado.net entity data model.

See the fourth digit on this page:
