Wanting to play with the different technologies on my “ Tech ToDo ” and following on from my first Tech Day with NHibernate , I wanted to play with Microsoft’s Entity Framework (EF). EF is (to my understanding) a beefed up version of LINQ to SQL . So, I happily go ahead and download the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 , install and eagerly run off to add my EF data model to my project.. But I can’t, there is no item for it in the templates. The tutorial (actually an MVC one) said there should be, the readme said there should be, but there wasn’t. Steps Attempted (to no avail) Following a tweet from @JeremySkinner , I checked that the assemblies ( System.Data.Entity* ) had installed OK to the reference assemblies folder ( C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.5 ) – they had. Next please! Following on from that, I then thought about the version of Visual Studio I am running.. Mine is actually under the DreamSpark license as I am currently studying with a MS part
