I am running on a new dev setup for SharePoint 2010 and trying to setup some External Content types. I think that I have setup BCS correctly (since I see it running in the central administration). When I go into SharePoint designer 2010 and try to setup a new External Content Type, I get the following error:

There is no Business Connectivity Service associated with the current web context.

Am I missing something with the configuration? Why am I not able to setup a new External Content Type to point to my existing SQL database?

The service might be running but make sure that you have associated the service with your Web Application. Go to Central Admin > Manage Web Applications > Select the Web Application > Click Service Connections in the Ribbon. In the dialog make sure that the BDC Service is checked.
