This fixed my problem which was not being able to create a dynamic data website, create an entitymodel for some tables and just put the type into the commented line in the Global.asax file, change scaffold to true and then go, like I did it vs 2010. Now
I can do that, if I just add what u wrote to the list. THX!
I am still worried that I don't have the linq to sql version of the template any longer. Sure there is a way to get it working, but since it's not there anymore I think it's time to change to entitites. I just still think there are so many things I can't
do with linq to enitites as easily as in linq to sql. :'(.
I seem to have the same problem with my application. I implemented what you suggested. Then I choose Generate Database from Model. The error I am getting now is:
Error 4 The type or namespace name 'Vita_DataEntities' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) D:\WebSites\VITA-DYN\Global.asax 25 45 VITA-DYN(1)
I started this over again and I also tried the Adventure Works 2012 database and I get the same results after I delete TT files and change Code Generation to Default and then Generate Database from Model. I must be doing something wrong, but I have no idea
what it could be. Below is my error.

Hi Uniprof, you have to change the code generation type in the EF data model.
1. Delete the TT files from the model
2. Change the "Code Generation Stategy" to "Default"
Always seeking an elegant solution.

Hi MClayton. this is the correct fix can you delete you data model and then recreate, after you have you model follow my steps and all should be good.

Hi there MClayton, did you delete all the .tt file entitis and Context?
P.S. you do not need the update model from database step it just works.

sjnaughton,
Thanks for your time it looks as if there is a couple of things I was doing wrong:
1. I needed to create as a Project and not a website, was able to get this to work with AdventureWork2012LT after going through your process.
2. Seems there is something wrong when I use my database specifically.
