ODATA template in Visual Studio 2010

Question

I don't see a OData (or WCF data service, or ADO.NET service) template in visual studio 2010. Am I missing something

Answer 1

If you create a new ASP.NET application, you can add to it a WCF Data Service, which should be what you are looking for.

Answer 2

These are the templates you need:

1. New Project => Visual C# Templates => ASP.NET Empty Web Application
2. Add an item to the new project => Visual C# Templates => ADO.NET Entity Data Model
3. Add an item to the new project => Visual C# Templates => Web => WCF Data Service

Answer 3

You can install WCF Data Services for OData. Doing this willl add a WCF Data Service (for OData) template under the Web tab of VS2010.
