This is in relation to the Webinar last week  http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/code-first-aop - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/code-first-aop

Just want to ask some questions:

1. How to do you set connection string in Code First Approach?

2. Is IDataSourceKeyResolver still applicable here?

3. How do we map code first entities to an existing database (I understand based on the EF4 tutorials that it generates a database by default)?

Thanks,

Von

For 1 and 2, I'm going to point you the following topics in our DRC.

http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/code-first-set-database-connection-string - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/code-first-set-database-connection-string

http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/advanced-database-connections - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/advanced-database-connections

3. There's really nothing special to do here. You just write your Code First model, and then set your connection string to an existing database. Additionally in DevForce, we provide http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/code-second - CodeSecond that allows you to initially generate a Code First model from the existing database.

Hope this helps.
