If you have installed Sitefinity and see the new menu items, but are following the online documentation you will not see the option to Enable Project to use ORM and this is a crucial first step.
“The first step when you want to integrate OpenAccess in your project is to enable it to work with OpenAccess ORM. For that purpose you should use the Enable Project wizard.”
A Visual Studio menu option displays a wizard that performs the following:
- Gathers connection information
- Writes to the project configuration file
- Creates a helper class for getting at the connection
- Adds relevant assembly references
