Classic Model Conversion Wizard - Overview

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.

Telerik Data Access offers a tool with which you are able to upgrade Reverse-mapped projects done with previous versions of Telerik Data Access to the new .RLINQ version required for the Visual Designer in a few simple steps. The migration tool extracts the information from within the reversemapping.config file and uses this information to create an .RLINQ file.
