Does anyone know if there is a way to add a property to a my partial class that will show in the Entity Framework designer so I can use it in my mapping to a stored procedure? I can modify the edmx, but would prefer to avoid it.

Unfortunately the Entity Framework (and the Designer) are completely unaware of your partial class properties. If you intend to use a property in a Stored Procedure mapping etc, you will need to add the property into the model.
So yes you will have to modify the EDMX.
