I was trying to create an ASP.NET MVC web application in Visual Studio 2017. I need to take an EF database-first approach for the work.
Unfortunately I can't find the ADO.NET Entity Data Model template in my "Data" template folder:
I have tried following suggestions which didn't work for me.
NOTE: I have VS 2015 and VS 2017 both installed on my machine. Only VS 2017 has the problem.
I have created the ASP.NET MVC project as follows:
File -> New -> Project -> Web -> ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework) -> MVC
Does anyone know a solution for this problem?
Adding an Entity Data Model To add an Entity Data Model to your solution, do the following: In the Solution Explorer, right-click your application and select Add and then New Item. From Visual Studio installed templates, select ADO.NET Entity Data Model (see the figure that follows). Click Add.
Create the ADO.NET Entity Data ModelRight-click on your project in the Solution Explorer window and select the menu option Add -> New Item. In the Add New Item dialog, select the Data category. Select the ADO.NET Entity Data Model template, give the Entity Data Model the name Northwind. edmx, and click the Add button.
The Entity Data Model (EDM) is a set of concepts that describe the structure of data, regardless of its stored form. The EDM borrows from the Entity-Relationship Model described by Peter Chen in 1976, but it also builds on the Entity-Relationship Model and extends its traditional uses.
