title: SubSonic ASP.NET MVC sample in Visual Web Developer Express
body: <p>In Visual Web Developer Express 2008 the SubSonic ASP.NET MVC template doesn't seem to work with a new database I added. I removed the Chinook Database and created my own one. I understand the the .tt files in the Models folder are used to generate code, but they don't (despite changing the ConnectionStringName to what I set in the web.config)</p>
  
  <p>Right clicking on each .tt file and selecting 'Run Custom Tool' does not generate anything, except an error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Cannot find custom tool 'TextTemplatingFileGenerator' on this system.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Where is that tool kept? There are .tt files in CodeTemplates, which are used when you create a new controller or view, so I assume there is a tool that does this.</p>
