Visual Studio :: Missing ADO.NET Entity Data Model Template In MVC 2 Applications?
Jun 10, 2010
I've been using VS2010 to look at the new ASP.NET and specifically MVC 2. I have gone through the 0.8 release of the MvcMusicStore sample on CodeProject (good job so far).
Now, I'm working on a project to explore MVC more deeply and after creating a table in a local SQL table, I went to create an ADO.NET entity data model to work with the table data. When I get to the list of templates, the total list of templates are:
SQL Server Database Text File XML File XML Schema That's everything (meaning when C# is selected at the top of the dialog's installed templates).
I've re-installed VS2010 (gone through the control panel and the maintenance option for VS2010). There's no Linq, Data Set, Database Unit Test, nothing....
It was there before, it's not now.
UPDATE : I did find this article: [URL] I did run devenv /installvstemplates. It ran without errors, however, the error still persists.
The article said if the "solution" was not a real solution, to re-install VS2010 (Really???). So I went to do so. The ADO.NET entity object framework is installed.
I just installed Visual Studio 2010 on my Windows 7 laptop in order to start learning the Entity Framework. For some reason that I haven't been able to figure out, when I try to add a new item, there is no template for the ADO.NET Entity Framework. Why the template doesn't exist and what I need to do in order to get the template? I came across a post that stated that in order restore the template that I needed to do the following: devenv /installvstemplates
When I click on New Project-> Visual Basic (or C#)-> Web, the only options i get is AjaxControlExtender, AjaxServerControl and ASP.Net Server Control. How do i get the ASP.Net WebApplication option to show up?
I'm trying to learn ASP.NET MVC, but have discovered that I don't even have the ASP.NET MVC 2 Web Application template installed. I'm using VS 2010 Ultimate (10.0.30319.1 RTMRel). How do I get this installed so I can begin?
In Visual Web Developer-2010, I have been trying to connect to IBM DB2 Database after installing the DB2 9.7 client (both supports VS2010/.Net4) so that I can use "ADO.NET Entity Data Model", but while clicking "New Connection" I can only see the list of Data Sources and Data Provider only related to MS SQL server. This is totally blocking my work, I am not able to work further since I cannot even establish the connection to my db2 database using this new editor so that I can create the edmx files in the solution for non MSSQL databases. Kindly provide me the solution ASAP, since my further work is blocking due to this.
Today in one of the computer i installed visual studio 2010 professional edition, and successfully installed. But in my new project template "Asp.net MVC 2 website" is missing. Also I'm not able to open an already created MVC 2 project also. I'm also having MVC 2 installed with VS 2008 Sp1 in the same machine and is working fine. I uninstalled and installed again, the same is happening.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition. I googled for the same, it says u might not have selected crystal reports feature while installation of vs. I am sure that i had selected installtion type = Full/Complete.
So has it anything to do with vs service pack etc. I dont have VS 2008 SP1, but VS 2008. Or wud be better if we can add crystal report component explicitly. (kinda standalone installer for crystal reports and then it will automatically merge with VS.)
My VWD 2010 Express Edition appears to be missing the console application template. I have searched all the options under new project in VB and C# but it just is not there. I would like to add the console application template option .
I made a few changes to the DB in SQL server management studio then right clicked on the .edmx doc to get it to update. That seemed to work fine but when i compiled the app everything that referenced the EF seems to be broken.The Error list now contains the below error for all classes that used it.
The type or namespace name '' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I want to use entity framework model for visual studio 2010. I am using oracle database. i was wondering if it is possible to use entity framework for oracle. If it is not possible then I will just use simple ADO.net and call stord proc and packages.I already downloaded oracle data provider for entity frameowrk from codeplex web site.can someone give me any example that connects to a sample oracle database and use LINQ to oracle
when i opened my Visual Studio 2010 i noticed that my ajax tab was missing from my toolbox and ajax control kit too.Then i noticed even that when i create new website, there is no web.config in it and it should be.WHAT IS GOIN ON???? :/
When I use VS2008 to create a new form application, I am able to go to the Data menu select "Show Data Sources" then the "Data Sources" window appears. Then I am able to "Add New Data Source" and so on. But when I create a new Web Application. I can not do that. Am I not able to create a Data Source on web applications?
getting data from multiple Entities models into an MVC controller. Most of the examples I have seen for using EF in an MVC2 app only use a single entitiy.
I have just started using MVC2 in C# using the Entity Framework models (CIOps.model) created from an SQL database. I can create the controller and views using single tables of the model in MVC2, but I just cannot get my head around how to get data from multiple entity tables into the controller (similar to joins in T-SQL). I have included an example below of the controller code that works with a single entity table, tbl_tours (tbl_tour in DB).
Could someone please illustrate how this code would be changed to include additional columns from FK tables in addition to tbl_tours columns. E.g. the clients name from the tbl_clients, the coordinators name from the tbl_employees, and costs from tbl_costs entities? Is it possible to do this directly using the EF model entities/classes that are already created and not use LINQ, POCO, Repositories, etc.? The FK relationships are already in the EF models. I have included the whole controller code, but I just need a few examples of how to join the multiple entities, not rewrite every CRUD function function in the controller. I think this will get me over the hump in using EF in an MVC2 App. Also ignore the fact I am using the home controller, this will change in the application.
I'm trying to use the Entity Framework with a Firebird database in Visual Studio 2010
Useful info:
Windows 7 64-bit Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Firebird 2.5.0 Firebird .Net Data Provider 2.6 DDEX 2.0.5
I've done:
Installed Firebird server (and it works and I can connect to a database) Downloaded DDEX (I've run the registry files) used the gacutil on the FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll and checked that it indeed was installed and it was Modyfied the machine.config for both 2.0 and 4.0 in 32-bit and 64 bit folders to include the provider in the element When I try to add a connection in the server explorer I choose "Firebird Data Source" and the Firebird data provider and press continue. I the "Add Connection" dialog window I fill in the info "data source, database, user, password.." and press ok and then I get the following error:
Failed to find or load the registered .Net Framework Data Provider Also when I try to add a new Entity Data Model I cannot see the Firebird option.. I can only see SQL options. I really need help on this one as I've spent many hours on this and I cannot get it to work.. I've also read other related questions on SO,
I am started working in Visual Studio 2010. But i founf F# is for developing console appplication only. Now f# support console application only or can i use for my web / windows applications also?
I have a Visual Studio solution containing two web applications. I would like the first to depend on the second (pages in the first may contain links to, or possibly post to pages in the second). Furthermore, I would like to be able to launch the first project on a development server (standard debugging procedure for web apps in VS) and have the references to the second project be fully functional.Does anyone know the best way to achieve this?
I'm trying to implement a custom filter template for all text based searches and running into problems constructing the query. I've been following the instructions posted on this blog but not sure how change the GetQueryable method to perform a WHERE columnAttribute LIKE '%something%'query. In the example on the blog the expression is an equality which works if the text I enter exactly matches the text in the database column.
At the moment I'm using the new QueryExtender feature along with the SearchExpression control but this requires creating several custom pages for all the tables I need text search functionality for. I would like to DRY this up by creating the custom filter template.
my visual studio 2010 has the following problem, can't see the missing characters. Everything is fine, if I do a copy to notepad, it will show up. The intellisense is fine. (I manually removed the characters after copying here). My beta2 started to have the problem a month ago. Now I installed RC, same problem. My windows is XP SP3.

I am using the ASP Web Application template from Visual Studio for my website. I created an images folder in the directory directly, and not in visual studio. I cannot get visual studio to show this directory. How do you add directories in visual studio or get it to recognize it. I know most of you are thinking of responding with "Why don't you just create the image directory through visual studio".
I have a couple files that are missing after a I publish a web application project in VS 2008. I know that the files need to be included in the solution and they are. I have tried excluding them and including them to hopefully reset whatever is missing these files in the first plac but that had no effect.
Ultimately, I need this to work on the command line with msbuild.exe, but I get the same results when I publish through VS.
Knowing that the files are already included in the project, what else do I need to do to get these to files to be copied over in the publish/build?
