Hi,

I just downloaded SP1 for VS 2008; as I have read, in SP1 LINQ to Entities template for projects would be available, yet I cannot find it when I want to add a new item to my project... what could be wrong? is there any other place from which I can get the Template?

Thank you

Hi,

when creating a new project make sure that you target the .NET 3.5 framework. When you created your (web) application. After creation right click in the solution explorer the project name. Choose Add new item and then select the template ADO.NET Entity Data model (under the Data tab).

Grz, Kris.

Thank you Kris for your answer.

I followed the steps you indicated; on the Tamplate window, I don't see tabs. I see all 32 tamplates, and no tabs. the ADO.NET Entity Model does not appear . I targeted .NET Framework 3.5 for the project. On the "About..." I see .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, Visual Studio 2008 Version 9.0.21022.8 RTM

Hi,

I'm afraid the "tabs" I mentioned was the correct terminology. What I meant were the nodes on the left when you add a new item. Take a look here to find pictures on how to accomplish it: http://www.aspfree.com/c/a/ASP.NET/Introduction-to-the-ADONET-Entity-Framework-using-ASPNET/.

Grz, Kris.

I reinstalled the IDE, then the SP... and now it works

Its nice to see how you can form entities from MySQL tables 

Thank you !!
