Custom AdventureWorks .edmx File
This example is based on the AdventureWorks data model that maps Contact, SalesOrderHeader, and SalesOrderDetail tables to Contact, Orders, and LineItem types. Instead of following the steps that define this model (described in How to: Customize Modeling and Mapping Files to Work with Custom Objects), you can create an empty model and edit the model in the editor. To edit the model, open the AdventureWorksModel.edmx file and copy the following code within the edmx:Runtime tags.
