Trouble Creating Entity Framework Model
I am trying to apply what I learned to a real application now. I am following the steps on page 481 to create an ADO.NET Entity Data Model based on my existing Oracle Database. When I perform step 2 by selecting "Generate from Database" and clicking next the "Choose Your Database" dialog flashes for just a moment and then disappears giving me no time to even read what is selected from the drop down. It does not create a .edmx file. I tried creating an empty one but I can't figure out how to select a connection once I do.
I am using an ASP.NET Web Application not a Web Site. I can see the tables that I want in the model in the Server Explorer.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,
You may want to try posting this in a more general ADO.NET / Oracle category here at p2p.wrox.com Alteratively, if you think it's a bug in VWD you can report it at http://connect.microsoft.com
Cheers,
Imar

I misspoke. I am using a Class Library Template for the Data Access Project. I will eventually be creating a Web App project.

O.K. So apparently I'm not doing anything wrong but this is a malfunction?

Not 100% sure, but it sounds as if what you're doing should work. Embedding an EDMZ in a Class Library is certainly possible. You'll get an app.config file wit the necesary connection string.
