Could not find the conceptual model type

I have been playing around recently with ASP .Net MVC, and after adding new tables to the Entity Framework model of my test app I started getting the following error:

"Could not find the conceptual model type"

 After getting mad for a while I found the solution. For what I read around the web there is a bug with EF that causes problems when the .edmx file is in the same project as your models.

I moved the Entity Framework model to a separate new project in my solution and everything worked fine from there.

    I had the same problem recently and luckily dropped at your blog. Even i went mad thinking what i was doing wrong.

    For my solution, i moved the EDMX to different DLL project altoghther for sake of clarity following this article
