What is the process I should follow to update my entity framework model when I have simply added a new column to a table in the database? The process that I have followed was to right click within the edmx file and choose "Update Model from Database". Now I can see the new field against the table definition in the Store. But when I look at the table mapping for the entity itself I see that my new column shows up but is not mapped to a property on the entity. Surely I don't have to manually add a property to the entity?
A:
I've realised this was not really a problem - the only problem was my understanding of what was happening. The new column I was referring to was actually a foreign key relationship with another table and therefore it did show up as a navigation property . When I go and add a column to my table that is not a foreign key it shows up as expected when using "Update Model from Database".
