    When I click "Generate" VS2008 doesn't open.  I would rather this just generate to something other than VS.  And I don't want to generate the entire DB, just a few tables.  How do I do that?

      Hello,

      What version of CodeSmith Generator and set of CSLA templates are you using? What would you like to generate to? You can choose what tables to generate to by updating the IgnoreList Regex inside of the Entities template. This can be configured via Manage Outputs.
