Is it possible to create a SQL DB from a Linq2Sql model? I managed to lose a DB for something I started building a year ago, but have the Linq2Sql model. If this is possible, what are the steps?

Whoever just put a -1 on this should be kicked off of SO for life! This is totally the answer!
I just added the code sample I used to get the MDF created... Thanks!

from MSDN :

public class MyDVDs : DataContext
{
    public Table<DVD> DVDs;
    public MyDVDs(string connection) : base(connection) { }
}

[Table(Name = "DVDTable")]
public class DVD
{
    [Column(IsPrimaryKey = true)]
    public string Title;
    [Column]
    public string Rating;
}
