Hi,

I'm very new to this, so pls be nice Downloaded the trial version of 3.0, and was trying to create entites from by Sql Db.

The documentation tells me to --> In the Project Explorer, right-click 'Entities' and choose 'Add New Entities Mapped On Tables From Catalog(s)'. You can also select 'Entities' and press Ctrl + T

But I don't have this option in my menu. Pls see attached screen.

Thanks Andre

Where in the documentation does it say that, as it has to be the catalog explorer, as explained here

I think you're looking at v2.6 docs?

Hi,

I was looking at the wrong documentation. Ok, i did the steps according to the link you gave me. My entities were made. I added this to my VS project.

No errors so far. Now I try to retrieve the list of objects (People) using the context, but i get this error: The type 'Data.EntityClasses.Person' is not mapped as a Table.

Obviously i'm doing something wrong, please help.

Please give more information. You don't even specify which o/r mapper framework you're using, nor what your code is. We don't have your code/project in front of us so we can't see what you're doing wrong.

i'm new to this, so be nice ok

Im using Target Framework Linq to SQL.

I have a web service that jsut tries to tereive a list on People.

            var context = new MyDataContext();

            var q = (from t in context.People
                     select t).ToList();

What more do you need ?

context.People returns a Person type? do other entities work? Did you choose (in project properties -> output setting values) xml mappings or attribute mappings? If you chose xml mappings (MappingsAsExternalXmlFile is true), how did you pass the xml file to the context? See manual.
