Tool: Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise Version 14.0.25431.01 Update 3 .NET Framework Ver. 4.8.03752
I am connected to a SQL Server database on our test server through Visual Studio 2015. I am building an Entity Relationship Diagram of the tables and bringing them into the diagram (.edmx file) one at a time so I can create the necessary links between tables. (primary Keys to foreign keys).
Problem: After I save the .edmx file with my table links customization changes and close Visual Studio, my customization of links between tables is not saved when I open it back up and reload the .edmx file.
Current Process leading to the error: When I drag tables from the Model Browser to the .edmx diagram window, it places what I'll call a "Generic" link (the thick blue bar) from the current table brought in to a previous table already on the diagram which I placed there earlier. I then go in and modify that link (from the table I just brought in) and drag one end of the link to point to the exact primary key in one table, then drag the other end of the link to point to the foreign key in the other table so that I have an accurate picture of the relationship between specific columns in each of the tables.
I am new to Visual Studio. Is there a setting I need to change in order for VS2015 to save my .edmx file with my custom link changes? (I changed the colors of each of the tables to visually group them and it saved those colors just fine.)
Thank you for your help.
