Is it possible to use the VS Entity Diagram designer with ASP.NET MVC 3?


The introductory videos for ASP.NET MVC 3 imply that the desired workflow is for me to declare classes that define my model (code-first design).

This strikes me as weird, since Visual Studio has a nice Entity Diagram designer which can generate such classes with navigation properties, etc.

Is it possible to use that Entity Diagram designer to design the model (model-first design), and have ASP.NET MVC 3 understand the generated classes as its model?

Please provide precise steps if possible :) Thanks :)

  • Apparently it is not possible.

    (Anyone wishing to prove me wrong and show how it can be done, please be my guest, but please provide steps :) )
