I am sorry this is perhaps a really stupid question. Forgive me because I come from a Java background and I am making an effort to learn .Net technologies.

I am trying to follow the tutorial for an ASP.Net MVC website from their website and I get to the part where I need to make a new model. When I right click they say I must choose ADO.Net Data Entity Model. Problem is this option is not available. I am not sure if I installed ADO.Net or if it comes standard. I have VS 2008 Professional Edition and I am running on a Vista VM (Sun VirtualBox, didn’t want to ruin my current environment).

EDIT:

Humble apoligies. I was going too quickly. I now see that SP1 is a pre-req to the tutorial. Thanks everyone

    For Entity Framework (aka ADO.NET Entity Model) to be there, you’ll need to install VS2008 SP1 (which also includes the required .NET 3.5 SP1).

    You also need to ensure that framework 3.5 is selected for the project, but for MVC I guess this should already be the case…

    It is also possible that your templates are simply not working properly…
