Missing ADO.NET Entity Framework template after installing SP1

Fri, 05 Jun 2009 13:48:24 Z

After installing SP1 and making sure my project is set to use the 3.5 framework I don’t see the ADO.NET Entity Framework template when trying to add a new item to the project. As a side note I also have Visual Studio Express on the same machine and can see it list there, but I can not see in Visual Studio Professional. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi _Roland,

Do you mean ADO.NET Entity Data Model template? Which edition of Visual Studio are you running now?

Can you find the following files on disk:
Item templates
%programfiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp\Data\1033\AdoNetEntityDataModelCSharp.zip
%programfiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\VisualBasic\Data\1033\AdoNetEntityDataModelVB.zip
%programfiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\Web\CSharp\1033\AdoNetEntityDataModelCSharp_ASPNET.zip
%programfiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\Web\VisualBasic\1033\AdoNetEntityDataModelVB_ASPNET.zip

If these files can be found, please try running devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates.
Visual Studio uses a cache on disk of all the installed project/item templates, to rebuild the cache, please run devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates (in Start > Run or "Visual Studio 2005/2008 Command Prompt")

Let me know if it works.

Thanks

I uninstalled Visual Studio and reinstalled Visual Studio and reapplied VSSp1 and after that the ADO.NET Entity Framework template was there.

As a side note I was getting Package 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Xaml' has failed to load properly when I tried to open a xaml window. That error is also gone now as well.

Thanks

Hi YiChun,

I have the same problem with (english) VS2008 (on german WinXP). I installed the Full Package of .NET FW SP-1/EN.
I have those template files, I also tried devenv.exe /InstallVSTTemplates, but ADO.NET EF template is still not available, when I try to add such an new item to my project..

Anything else I can check or try?

Thanks,
Stefan

Hi,

ehem... maybe I can excuse myself by stating that this was my first EF try (read an "How-To" article from Beth Massi). Of couse when you want to use ADO.NET EF, then your project should be a .NET FW 3.5 project...

Sorry to bother,
Stefan
