I am using LLBLGen version 3.0 Final

I already created llblgen project with version 3.0, which I am using in .Net based application.

But some new columns are added to the existing tables and some new views are added to the existing database.

Now I want to update the existing llblgen project with new columns and new views.

What are the steps that I need to perform? Thanks in advance!

Hi Annee,

You have to run the Relational Model Data Retrieval Wizard again, so LLBLGen can find the changes in your DB.

For existing tables/views maybe the new fields will be added right after you refresh the catalog. For new elements (tables, views) you have to check them in the wizard so they will be added to the catalog explorer. From the catalog explorer you have to peek them and add them to your model.

Whether LLBLGen Designer adds automatically fields or new elements (TypedViews, Entities) to your model is controlled by some Project Settings / Preferences, such as AddNewElementsAfterRefresh, AddNewFieldsAfterRefresh, etc.

I recommend to read How To Work Database First which explains all this process.

Hope helpful wink
