Answer 1

Are you working in an N-Tiered project? If so, try rebuilding your Data Layer (or wherever your EDMX file is stored) before using it.

Answer 2

If this is the bug with the edmx file located in a folder it is now fixed - download and install VS 2012 Update 1. You can get it from: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads#d-visual-studio-2012-update

Answer 3

You should have a <XXX>Model.tt file somewhere which is the T4 template that generates your model classes.

If it is in a different project, it will not update when you save the edmx file.

Anyway, try right-clicking on it in Solution Explorer and choosing Run Custom Tool
