With a DataContext and a blank file-based database that already exists, is it possible to write the Data Context classes (i.e. the ones I added to the designer) to create the db schema?

With a data context I only see the abilities to either:

• create a new database file and have its structure created at the same time,
• or to populate data into an existing database having preexisting schema.

I'm looking for a hybrid solution between those two worlds.

Update 1: My proof that a preexisting db is not compatible with the Data Context CreateDatabase() operation is this error

Database 'C:...\App_Data\IntermediateData.mdf' already exists. Choose a different database name.

based on this code

using (IntermediateClassesDataContext intermediateContext = new IntermediateClassesDataContext(_getIntermediateConn())) {
    intermediateContext.CreateDatabase();
}
