Just for information if anyone else stumbles upon this thread in desperation (like I just did) ...

I updated my edmx model in a Silverlight application, having only renamed one database column and added a couple of foreign keys, and the Client project immediately started generating 30+ fatal errors, all due to the fact that, despite the Web project building "successfully", it did not generate the app.g.vb "generated code file" for the client, resulting in "WebContext not defined", missing ApplicationResources etc etc.

The first time this happened I just gave up, deleted the edmx file and the domain service and started again.

The second time it happened I got angry, but this time I just deleted and re-created the domain service, and everything went back to normal.

So it looks like there are definitely some modifications you can't make to the edmx model without requiring re-creation of the Domain Service.

There's no update support in the UI, but if you're just returning whole entities there should be no reason to regenerate, everything should just flow through when you update the edmx and rebuild the project (to re-run codegen for the client).
