Select Metadata Source Type Dialog

This article is relevant to entity models that utilize the deprecated Visual Studio integration of Telerik Data Access. The current documentation of the Data Access framework is available here.

The Select Metadata Source Type dialog is the first page of the Dynamic Data Wizard. It allows you to select the metadata source type that will be used by the wizard. There are three options. You can choose Rlinq File, OpenAccessContext or Fluent Metadata Source.

  • Rlinq File - uses a RLINQ file to construct the metadata required by the wizard. All RLINQ files from the current and referenced projects will be retrieved.
  • OpenAccessContext - constructs the metadata required by the wizard from the context via reflection. All OpenAccessContext classes from the available compiled assemblies will be retrieved.
  • Fluent Metadata Source - constructs the metadata required by the wizard from mapping sources via reflection. All fluent metadata sources from the current and referenced projects will be retrieved.
