If you want to use Entity Framework you should consider to use Database First approach.

Other simple and fast way to import a Sql Server scheme to a class in VS is this:

1. Make a select as json query:

   SELECT * FROM Approval FOR JSON AUTO

2. Copy one row from the result in your clipboard:

   [{"Id":1,"FormId":10,"DesignationId":100,"CreatedOn":"2000-01-01T00:00:00"},{"Id":2,"FormId":20,"DesignationId":200,"CreatedOn":"2000-01-01T00:00:00"}... ]

3. Paste in Visual Studio: Edit-> Paste Special -> Paste Json As Classes
