I created a new Project in Visual Studio 2017 with .Net Core 2.0. It turned out, that there is no Ado.net entity data model item in the new item dialog.

I've seen this link Missing “Ado.Net Entity Data Model” on Visual Studio 2013 . But there is no EFTools.msi in the suggested directory nor can i install Entity Framework 6 Tools for Visual Studio 2012 & 2013 for Visual Studio 2017.

Regarding this link: Can't find ADO.net Entity Data Model template in VS2017 I checked as well under Programms&Features->Visual Studio 2017->Change->Components and there Entity-Framework Tools 6 is selected an apparently installed.

I tried with starting Visual Studio 2017 as Administrator as well.

Every help is very appreciated.

Configuration Visual Studio 2017

EF6 is not supported in Net Core projects. And EF Core supports Code First only, so there is no ADO.NET Entity Data Model (edmx). – Ivan Stoev
@Ivan Stoev. Ok thanks for clarification. – Userino
You are welcome. If you start with existing database, you can try the scaffold command. – Ivan Stoev

ADO.NET Data Model is available in .Net Framework but your project is .Net Core type. You can add a ClaasLibrary(.NetFramwork) project to your solution then add a ADO.NET Data Model to it.
