I just got Visual Studio 2010 and need to create a web application using LINQ to SQL. I started writing the web app but can't add a .DBML file to the solution. The option isn't there when I go to Add -> New Item.
Am I missing something from the installation CD? Did they change something from Visual Studio 2008? I haven't written in .NET for about a year, so I'm out of the loop.
Thanks very much for any help.

I have a problem that started Monday (10/1/18) where the query designer for report projects (*.rptproj) has changed, I believe to the Report Builder Visual Designer. This has the unfortunate effect of me having to use the Text-Based Designer for managing the dataset query in the report, which is less than optimal.
When I try to change out of the Text-Based Designer, I get this message:
This happens for all our reports in our Reporting project. Has anyone else run into this issue? All of my Google-Fu attempts to find a solution have failed.
From what I can tell, the Microsoft Reporting Services Projects extension in VS was updated on 9/28/18, but I don't see anything in the change log for such a change. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks to #B1313, his answer has to his question has done the trick for me.

I have been working with SSRS for 2 years now in a SQL 2008 R2 environment. I have been using Visual Studio 2008 BIDS interface to develop and maintain reports. Frankly, I am appalled by the quality of this software and it's Preview option. I have been documenting my gripes (reached number 48). Simple things like unsupported copy/paste using keyboard shortcuts, appalling error reporting, very flaky subreport concept, awful intellisense, missing undo option in many circumstances etc etc. I have lost many hours of development time working around issues such as these. I am dumbfounded as to how software could ever be released in such a state.
Anyway, I currently have no option to move from the SQL 2008 R2 environment but I am wondering whether, if I start to use the Visual Studio 2010 environment as my IDE (rather than Visual Studio 2008) whether I might see any improvements?
Any help with this would be appreciated and thank you in advance.
Is it possible to create code first approach in Visual Studio 2013 ultimate version? I am using visual studio 2013, .Net frame work 4.5, sql server 2008, and Entity Frame work version -6.0.0.
I'm not able to create Code first approach. If I go and right click on the project name ->Add->NewItem->Ado.net-> in that, I can't find Code first approach.
I don't know what the main issue is. If anyone could help me to clear this problem I'd appreciate it. Then I have another doubt too... I would like to create my MVC project in 3-tier architecture using Business access layer and also database access layer. I create my MVC application in 2-tier . Now I would like to create in 3-tier. Please suggest some links to create this MVC application in 3-tier architecture.
Anyone give me suggestions for these two things.
Thank you in advance!
You need to download EF tooling for VS 2013 because it was shipped out of band. You can get it here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40762
I'm trying to follow various tutorials on how to create LINQ to SQL classes and they all say I should connect to the Object Data Source. However there's no such source available to select in Visual Studio 2012 Express for Web. Is this a limitation of the Express for Web edition? I have tried to find info on this, but haven't found anything. Is there a workaround?
I figured it out. This should be done through Project->Add New Data Source. Not Tools->Connect to Database or Database Explorer.
I'm new to SSRS and I've been using Report Builder to create reports. But I understand Visual Studio is a better environment and/or would like to use BIDS -- problem is, I cannot find our SQL server DVD or key (which I assume I need for something), but I would like to know if I can at least use Visual Studio Standard on my PC to create reports and publish them to SSRS?
Thanks
Yes you can.
BIDS is a Visual Studio plug-in.
