I had the same problem. I have solved it by following way:

I have created two edmx file, but while creating second edmx file, i ignored the connection string to be save in config file. This way my config file will hold only one Connection string. Then i modified following lines in my connection string:

Just replace "res://model1.csdl" with "res://*/" and it works like a charm.

You can specify this connection name in constructor of your dbcontext class like:

public MyDbContext() : base("name=NameOfYourConnectionString") //  Name of your connection string
{ }

Note: I am using Entity Framework 5.0.
