title: ASP.NET MVC 3 EF Code First - also use existing database
body: <p>I am in the process of writing a new web application. I am using ASP.NET MVC 3 with Entity Framework code first. The database is automatically created and everything looks good so far.</p>
  
  <p>However, we already have an existing database that holds details of all our current users and I want to be able to retrieve data from this database table in my new project. Is this possible using EF Code First and if so, how would I go about this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
