lol, no problem. I assume you must be using VS2008 and suggested upgrading to VS2010 and Dot net 4.0. This includes a later version of the Entity Framework and that work around is not needed.

As another option, you could create a script to drop all the constraints in the database, generate your EF Business objects and then add them back. Not sure how much work that is for your data.
