For me the 'Data' menu is not available for a web application. Not exactly the same issue, but similar.

I found that if I navigate to the 'Server Explorer' (Ctrl+W, L) (also found via menu item 'View'->'Server Explorer'), and highlight a defined data connection my 'Data' menu choice reappears. But the sub menu choices are different. Rather than having 'Data'->'Show Data Sources', or 'Data'->'Add New Data Source...', I get 'Data'->'New Query', and 'Data'->'Modify Connection...'.
