I've just installed visual studio 2013 and tried to setup Entity framework to access an oracle database.
I click on new ADO.NET entity model, then Generate from database, but on the data connection screen when I click "New Connection" I don't get oracle appearing the list of datasources. I only get two SQL server options.
Do I need to install something extra to get this to work?
The Oracle data source appears in my 2012 version of visual studio that I've got installed on the same machine, so not sure why it doesn't work in 2013.
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.
Yes. See this step by step tutorial of Entity Framework, LINQ, and Model-First for the Oracle database (11G), and using Visual Studio 2010 with .
Entity Framework is the development of data-oriented applications using ADO.NET. Entity Framework solves problems in entity models, relationships, and business logic. Also, it works with data engines. This means Entity Framework is an Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) framework.
