Entity Framework Adding Namespace

Question

I am now using Visual Studio 2013. I have recently reinstalled a machine and am having a problem with Entity Framework when I 'Update Model From Database' The original app was developed on VS2010 then VS2012 and now VS2013 EF keeps adding a new namespace in the edmx designer.

Namespace ComfortGroupModel

.......

End Namespace

I then get over 100 errors come up. It seems my context no longer can be found. I then remove the namespace and alter a couple of other bits of code and I am away.

So is there any way I can fix this? Thanks in advance Scott

Answer 1

Exactly what components throw these errors?

• If it's code that depends on T4 generated CLR types, I suggest you refactor it properly to accommodate the new namespace. Pragmatically, it's normally just a matter of adding a few using statements or prefixes.

• If it's internal to the EDMX model (mappings, ...), you may try to change the namespace yourself by modifying the Namespace property (section Schema ) for the EDMX model in the Visual Studio designer. Alternatively, you may edit the EDMX file yourself.

I've actually recently renamed a namespace that way for unrelated reasons. Again, from a practical point of view, it usually comes down to some search and replace.
