Visual Studio 2010 Database Projects: Are there any videos/tutorials or comments about the new Database Project Types?

I have recently upgraded to Visual Studio 2010. I have kept database projects separate to application projects. The database project was converted from and old DPR project and added a whole lot of additional folder. I deleted those, but now I suspect I need to recreate the project as these new projects work very differently.

Now that I have need to update scripts, it seems I cant even paste new SQL files into the project so am a bit stuck. Are there any tutorials / walkthrough that show the basics on starting and creating a database project? Or even better a video?

Also if there are any tips and tricks or comments on this, I will be happy to hear them?
