Missing "ADO.NET Entity Data Model" Template in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 Ultimate Edition

When I installed the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 Ultimate edition, I wanted to know how the ADO.NET Entity Data Model can make me forget my good experience with LINQ To SQL. Unfortunately after much searching, I can't seem to find a way to add it to my project, whether it's a web project or a windows application I'm working on.

I used to think it's quite strange how this LISP keyword sounds like. I still do. Does this mean to "remove the fun out of" programming? :-)

"Control cannot be created because Visual Studio cannot find the control’s type in the control assembly"

I just got a new machine, an Acer laptop with enough bells and whistles to make a developer happy (Core 2 Duo, 2GHZ, 2 GB RAM). As usual I test drive it on a Web Application Project I was working on in VS 2005. The source files came from an old laptop of mine. The new laptop has been painstakingly updated with all the required patches, and Service Packs, both for the OS (SP2 for WinXP) and the VS 2005 (SP1). I even installed the .NET Framework in sequence (1.1 and its SP, 2.0 and its SP; no .NET Framework 3 though; I have no need for it yet).

Intercepting Calls to Functions of a Typed Dataset

One of the things that we need to implement when doing any web project, whether in classic ASP or in ASP.NET, is how to log the calls to the database portion of our application. This is necessary so that we will be able to monitor the SQL statements that our application is executing at run time. This helps in easing up a lot of problems when troubleshooting production code.
