You are deploying an Entity Framework application. You need to deploy it in such a way that you are not required to recompile and redeploy the application every time the conceptual model is updated. Your solution should require minimal effort.

What should you do?

When the Entity Data Model Wizard generates a conceptual model, a connection string is created in the application configuration file. Model and mapping files can be embedded as application resources, or they can be copied to the output directory. By default, they are deployed as embedded application resources. Use the Metadata Artifact Processing property of the Entity Designer file to select one of these options. Set the value of the Metadata Artifact Processing property to Copy to Output Directory to copy as XML files.
