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

Good job.
Something the other experts should have seen. This was helpful.
As much as I'd love to run this on my Linux machine, it's just so much easier using EF!

I also had some problems with this.
It's been a few years since my courses so I wanted to refresh a standard MVC DB web app exercise but I could never add an ADO.NET when starting from scratch but opening an old project had them there so I was quite confused.

Eventually I found out i needed to install the .NET Framework project and item templates VS2022 feature to have the .NET Framework project template and ADO.NET Entity Data Model item, amongst a lot of other extra stuff, available.

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.

Answer 5

@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'.
