title: How to sync model after using Code First from Database using Entity Framework 6.1 and MVC 5?
body: <h2>Assumptions</h2>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Using EF 6.1, MVC 5, VS 2013, C#</p></li>
  <li><p>I have an existing database model designed in Toad DM for SQL Server and it's very important keep it always updated</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <h2>Steps and Notes</h2>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Using ADO.NET Entity Data Model I chose <strong>Code First from Database</strong> (<strong>new feature in EF 6.1</strong>) to generate the models. Note: Model classes and DbContext class generated successfuly but <strong>NO .edmx or .tt file was generated</strong>.</p></li>
  <li><p>Next I added a new scaffold item: MVC 5 Controllers with views, using Entity Framework. Note: Success, controllers and views generated</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <h2>Question</h2>
  
  <p>From now on I don't want to use Code First to update my database. Instead I want the models to be updated based on database changes. What to do next? If I don't have an edmx file will I not be able to update my model classes from the database?</p>
