Click Next to proceed to the next wizard page. If you select the first option, proceed to the Specify a Connection String page. If you choose an existing connection string, navigate to the Bind to a Stored Procedure or Select a Data Member page (based on your Entity Framework model and whether it provides stored procedure support).
