Error while using POCO template with EF 4.1

Question

installed: EF 4.1.

If I right-click on an empty erea of the *.EDMX- canvas and select "add Code Generation Item.."

I see the "Add New Item Dialog" to choose the Templates from.

I choose the "ADO.NET POCO Entity Generator" template. then the Error is:

"Error: this template attempted to load component assembly "Microcost.Data.Entity.Desing, Version= 10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicTokenKey=b03f5f7f11d50a3a .... "

If I'm adding the refernece to System.Data.Entity.Design, I see only the Version 4.0.0.0

in folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\System.Data.Entity.Design.dll

I'm using VS Ultimate, SP1Rel, 

any help is more then welcome

Hello,

From your description, it looks that your issue may not be related to VS itself, but the POCO template. Check this blog for more detailed information. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/adonet/archive/2010/02/18/entity-framework-poco-template-updated-for-visual-studio-2010-release-candidate.aspx

HTH,

Hello Larcolais,

Thank you for your reply. I have already read the blog and found it very inspiring.

But now I am desperately seeking a way to remove the template. Can you give me a hint?
