Charm EDMX Tools is an add-in for Visual Studio that adds functionality to the Entity Framework EDMX designer in Visual Studio.
It is a vary simple interface: whene you open EDMX designer, on toolbar menu you have a new button: "EDMX FIX".
After that you have execute Edmx Update (VS Tool), you can press "EDMX FIX".
The operations to be performed are the following:
