CRM Development Toolkit issue

We are using the CRM development toolkit in our projects for sometime. Recently one of the project has stop showing the "Connect to Dynamics CRM Server" option under tools menu, not sure the exact cause of it but following actions were performed which might have caused the issue.

Defined the ALM process for the project and for this created a new crm org. Added a webservice project with in the solution of CRM dynamics project solutions. Removed silver-light project as this is not required.

Resolution:

Close the CRM project and then open the solution file in notepad and add the following lines with in the Global node.

GlobalSection(CRMSolutionProperties) = preSolution
     SolutionIsBoundToCRM = True
EndGlobalSection

Reopen the project and go to Tools and "Connect to dynamics CRM Server" option to connect to CRM server.
