LightSpeed Model Explorer

The LightSpeed design surface shows your domain model – entities, associations and value objects – and data access elements, such as views and stored procedures.  Most of the time, this is all you will work with and all you need to see.  For some advanced or infrequent actions, however, you will need to use the LightSpeed Model Explorer.  This shows a tree view of your model file, including non‑visual elements, and is the only way to create, edit or delete non-visual elements.  Some of the techniques in this chapter require you to use the LightSpeed Model Explorer instead of the model design surface.

To open the LightSpeed Model Explorer, open the Visual Studio View menu and choose Other Windows > LightSpeed Model.
