+5  Q: 

Where is EntityConfiguration and ContextBuilder in Visual Studio 2010?

I see examples about code-only POCO for en entity framework 4, but I cannot find the classes EntityConfiguration and ContextBuilder and I cannot see which reference I need to add to have them.

Is it part of the .Net Framework 4 or do we have to download something else?

+10  A: 

The POCO stuff you're looking for is in a separate download. Current version is at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=af18e652-9ea7-478b-8b41-8424b94e3f58&displayLang=en

Once you run the installer, you'll need to grab the Microsoft.Data.Entity.CTP.dll file (mine was in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft ADO.NET Entity Framework Feature CTP3\Binaries directory). Make a project reference to the new dll and you should be set!
