Changing Namespaces in Entity Framework

asp.net c# entity-framework namespaces

Question

I am trying to change the Namespace used by Entity Framework Generator of classes.

When I click the designer of my Entity, Model.edmx, I can see somewhere where I can change the namespace:

Namespace

under ConceptualEntityModel properties. Changed that namespace, but nothing happened. Didn't work. So, I read some help from this link:

http://weblogs.asp.net/zeeshanhirani/struggling-through-namespace-in-entity-framework

says that I have to change the property: Custom Tool Namespace

That's nice, when I click property of .edmx in console application, there property is there. But when I am using the same thing in a Web Application, the property is not there. There is only a property file called Web File Properties that simply has 3 properties:

  • Custom Tool
  • File Name
  • Full Path

What am I missing here?

rainerh is right:

I tried to set *.edmx Custom Tool Namespace property - this did not help.
I tried to set *.Context.tt property - this did not help too.
But when I set Custom Tool Namespace property of *.tt file (right-click on the file -> Properties) - namespace was set automatically for all the classes genereated before.
