title: Connect to an Odata Service in Visual Studio
body: <p>I am trying to create an application on visual studio using a windows form that connects to an Odata Service. I have looked on the MSDN website for help. Here is what I found.</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>In Solution Explorer, click the Data Sources node.</p>
  
  <p>On the Project menu, click Add Data Source….</p>
  
  <p>The Attach Data Source Wizard appears.</p>
  
  <p>On the Choose a Data Source Type page, click OData Service, and then click Next.</p>
  
  <p>In the OData Source Address field on the Enter Connection Information page, type the full URL address for the service (for example, <a href="http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc/" rel="nofollow">http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc/</a>).</p>
  
  <p>Click Next.</p>
  
  <p>Under Login Information, specify the type of authentication that the service uses.</p>
  
  <p>If you specify Other Credentials, enter a valid User name and Password, which are typically supplied by the owner of the service.
  Click Next.</p>
  
  <p>On the Choose your Entities page, specify the entities that you want to use in your LightSwitch application, and then click Finish.</p>

  <p>I'm unable to find the Data Sources Node on the project menu to open the Attach Data Source Wizard.</p>
