Programmatically Interact with a Visual Studio Database Project from C# Code

Question

How would one go about programmatically interacting with a Visual Studio Database Project from C# code? I would like to do the following:

• given a live database, create a database project that represents the schema of that database
• given an existing database project and a live database, update the database project to reflect the schema of the database

I'm pretty familiar with the components of the Data-Tier Application Framework, but I haven't been able to find anything to handle these kinds of tasks. Does anyone have any experience with these kinds of workflows? Are there Visual Studio frameworks that might expose these kinds of features?

Edit: I see that someone has voted to close this question because it is "too broad". If someone is having trouble interpreting this question, please see my bullet points above. There are two very specific tasks I would like to accomplish.
