Answer 1

This is apparently a bug in the Entity Framework that the model does not get updated when your Edmx file is located inside a folder. The workarounds available at the moment are:

1. Install VS 2012 Update 1 which should fix the bug.
2. If you are not in a position to install Update 1, you will have to right click on the model.tt T4 template file and click run custom tool. This will update the classes for you.

Hope that helps someone out there.
