I have to use entity framework with HANA database in visual studio 2013. I am following below steps- 1. I already have Visual studio 2013 professional edition installed on my desktop.
2. I downloaded SAP HANA client package from SAP market place and installed the same on my desktop.
3. I opened a new visual studio solution and tried adding ADO.NET entity model as shown below-

Just wanted to share that i found the solution to above problem. The issue was related to OS bit.

We have 64 bit windows operating system and Visual studio is always 32 bit. Since i had installed only 64 bit HANA client, HANA provider was not visible in VS2013.

Once i installed both 32 and 64 bit HANA client, the provider came in the dropdown. Got the reference from this URL-
