Question

Always in my projects i add a ADO.net Data Model (from database connection) to my Data Access Layer Project that i named it DataProject , but now i need to use SQL Server Databse project that i named it SQLDatabaseProject .

Now, i want how can i make relation between My DataProject and SQLDatabaseProject ?

I mean as my old way adding "ADO.net Data Model" from database connection to DataProject and separately i can deploy db or change tables in SQLDatabaseProject!! i want to know is there anyway to make model in DataProject from SQLDatabaseProject? not from my old way?

• DataProject

and i added reference from SQLDatabaseProject in DataProject but i cant see any namespace of data or something else when i want to create model or ...!!?

There are two ways you can do this: 1) You can use T4 templates to generate code for you from the scripts you have in the database project. 2) Have a model and dev database on your machine and then simply do the db changes on model and update those changes on your database project and (Eg. Entity Framework). When you're happy with the changes made to the model database (which should be empty), then publish the changes to the dev database.
