Is it possible to create Entity Data Model (edmx file) from MS Access Database mdb file? If yes then how?
I have tried using Entity Data Model Wizard, but there I could only choose sql databases.
I have website in MVC3 and I need to connect it to dsatabase that is in mdb file.
Any help much appreciated!
you are right, I was expecting to have also OLEDB or ODBC listed but there is only SQL Server and SQL Server Compact. Anyway if you are doing serious development at minimum use SQL Express or SQL Compact, both free and probably way better than old MS Access.
With the latest version of SQL Compact (4), it runs also in IIS and with Partial Trust so you can use it without any issue with your Hosting Provider, in case you do not want to pay for SQL connectivity.
like you find here: Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0
