title: Map Objects to Database in Entity Framework
body: <p>I've worked for some time with entity framework in a database first approach with all the fancy code generators from VS. But I have two problems with this :</p>
  
  <p>1) As powerfull as it is, I am just sick of .edmx and generated code plus I want to keep the hand on my models objects. I don't want my models to be the exact reflect of my database, I just want them as I need them.</p>
  
  <p>2) I no longer have access to code generation and .edmx, since I'm now working on VS Express 2013</p>
  
  <p>The code first approach is not an option, since I work on an existing DB.
  I have given a look to Massive and such, and I do love it, but it also reminded me how wonderful it is when many-to-many relationships are automatically managed...</p>
  
  <p>So is it a way to "manually" wire objects to tables, like in Java's hibernate ?</p>
