Hello,

I'm currently using LLBLGen 4.0. The last time I used it was LLBLGen 2.6 several years ago. I seem to recall that back then, I was able to import views/SPs in the LLBLGen Designer, but now it seems I have to run a plugin when I click on Typed Views or Stored Procedures? Which... I'm not sure where it is located. I guess I'm just missing something obvious here, but please help.

Thanks.

I don't recall that one had to run a plugin for that in v2.6, it's always part of the normal DB metadata retrieval procedure. See Relational Model Data Retrieval Wizard. When you are at Step 2 (Specify elements to retrieve), you select the DB Views and Stored Procedures you want to retrieve from DB.

Then, all you have to do is to Reverse engineer the elements in the catalog explorer to entity definitions / typedViews and stored procedure calls.

See this video for a demo on how to work with the Designer and DB First.

Ahh, that was the step I was missing. I forgot to retrieve it during the relational model step. I only did it for tables since I guess I was rushing it. Went ahead and refreshed it and that did the trick.

Thanks!
