Answer 1

I was having the same issue

System.Data.MetadataException: Unable to load the specified metadata resource

It turned out the Connection string which was generated earlier had all the edmx's name on it. I took out all the model names from the connection string leaving only the below string in my metadata

"metadata=res://*/;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider

This worked for me.
