I want to update my ADO.NET Entities Framework Model from the database, but I cannot find the Entity Model Browser Window. There is an example of how to update my model here, but I cannot find how to open the model browser. Could someone please tell me exactly how to open it using Visual Studio 2010?

I tried finding it through the view menu, and I do not get any valid options when right-clicking on the .edmx file.

First, open up the EDMX file. Then, in main menu select View > Other Windows > Entity Data Model Browser (it usually opens in the same panel as Solution explorer).
