Visual Studio 2010 Data Sources

Running Visual Studio 2010 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel with prior running and uninstalled beta version.

My issue, I'm not able to show Data Sources panel. It's not under View menu in my case.

Would appreciate any ideas

I had the same problem. But sorted now. You need go to View then to Other Windows and then Data Sources. or click shift + alt + D

You run into this when trying to follow the canonical process for creating a Linq to DB setup. The solution is an end-run: RMB on Models in Solution Explorer, select "Add new item", and on the next screen select the "LINQ to SQL classes" option. This brings up a version of the DB connection designer that will create appropriate Linq classes.

Based on How to: Open the Data Sources Window.

On the Data menu, click Show Data Sources.

Data Sources will only be visible if you are in the right spot in the VS.NET, specifically in UI design mode. Then - the menu Shows up under Data/Data Sources
