    you can't make an ADO.Net Entity Data Model with an interface with .NET Core, Only with .NET Framework.

    I solved the same problem by following these:

    1)While Creating project don't select class Library(.NET Standard) Choose Class Library (.NET Framework)

    2)Choose ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework)

    3) Go to Tools -> Get Tools and features.
    Select Individual components tab and check Entity Framework 6 tools under SDK's, libraries, and framework section

    4)Remember you can't make an ADO.net Entity Data Model with an interface with .NET Core, its only possible with .NET Framework.

    Hope these will solve yours too.

    Hi @Raja Ganapathy ,

    but ado.net entity data model not visible

    Do you mean you can't find "Ado.Net Entity Data Model"?

    • You can right-click on the Models folder and select Add New Item->Data->Ado.Net Entity Data Model.

    @Raja Ganapathy

    Why would you need to install EF 6 in regards to using VS2019?

    I created a .NET Framework 4.7 WebAPI project, added a 'new item' to project, selected 'Data' and selected 'Data Model' that took me through the wizard of creating a EF model from an existing database, which I would assume it would be some EF 6.x version.

    Maybe in your creating of the assumed WebAPI project, you selected a .NET Core framework by mistake, and EF Core doesn't use the 'entity data model' that can be selected from 'Data'.
