Yes, it is available. But not the current best practice by Microsoft. It became available with .NET 3.5.

References, please. EF 4.0 was released in VS2010, not 2008.

@Robert http://blogs.msdn.com/b/adonet/archive/2008/10/29/update-on-linq-to-sql-and-linq-to-entities-roadmap.aspx, seems like .NET 3.5 SP1.
