After doing that, I can select a data connection and generate an entity model from the database.
However, I have some problems: a) all fields are marked as being part of the primary key. Why isnt the DDEX picking up the right primary keys? b) all foreign keys are gone. How can I get the foreign keys into the entity model? How do I solve those problems? Best regards, Bengt Am 29.11.2010 11:13, schrieb eMeL: >> I add in the FBconnection in the Visual Studio ToolBox.
