Mapping Details Window (Entity Data Model Designer)
The Mapping Details window is the component of the ADO.NET Entity Data Model Designer (Entity Designer) that enables you to view and edit mappings between a conceptual model and a storage model in an .edmx file (for more information, see .edmx File Overview (Entity Framework)). You can map entity types or associations to one or more database tables or functions.
Viewing the Mapping Details
The Mapping Details window is a Visual Studio component that is integrated with the Entity Designer. Double-click an .edmx file in Solution Explorer to open the Entity Designer. This includes the Mapping Details window. The Mapping Details window shows the mappings of the selected entity type in the currently active window.
