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.
ADO.NET, for WindowsInstall Visual Studio Community, or a similar integrated development environment (IDE) for writing and compiling C# source code. Microsoft now provides Visual Studio Community for free.
Entity framework is ORM Model, which used LINQ to access database, and code is autogenerated whereas Ado.net code is larger than Entity Framework. Ado.net is faster than Entity Framework. 1. ADO.Net is create bunch of data layer code, EF is not create.
Here's an updated solution I found as I had the same problem with Visual Studio 2015: ado.net model for db is gone Visual studio 2015
Paraphrasing: Change your installation of Visual Studio 2015 and include the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools (via Control Panel > Program & Features > VS2015 > Change > Modify > Windows and Web Development > Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools).
After downloading the extension and restarting Visual Studio, you should be able to add ADO.NET Entity Data Model as a new item.
As I learned the hard way trying to follow older Visual Studio tutorials, trying to use View > Other Windows > Data Sources etc. doesn't do the same thing.

You have to install a the Entity Framework NuGet Package by right-clicking the specific project and then select "Manage NuGet Package". It'll pop-up a Window where you can search for existing packages online and install them
