Question

i am very much new to Entity Framework and i just used this in nop commerce 1.9 so i dont know how to implement Entity Framework from scratch for a new project. i created the database with all table and make complete relationship in all table. and also created the project for my class an example of a class is

 class BE_Room
    {
        #region properties
        public int RoomId { get; set; } 
        public string RoomType { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; } 
        public int NumberOfRooms { get; set; } 
        public bool IsSmoking { get; set; } 
        public int Status { get; set; } 
        public DateTime CreatedDate { get; set; } 
        public DateTime UpdatedDate { get; set; } 
        public int CreatedBy { get; set; } 
        public int UpdatedBy { get; set; }
        public int Rank { get; set; }
        #endregion
    }

and the table schema for this class in db is as following

RoomId  int
RoomType    nvarchar
Description nvarchar
NumberOfRooms   int
IsSmoking   bit
Status  tinyint
CreatedDate smalldatetime
UpdatedDate smalldatetime
CreatedBy   int
UpdatedBy   int
Rank    int

now when i add the edmx file it will genrate all the classes for all entities and make a single file for all classes.

but as i am following nop commerce 1.9 there is a single .edmx file for all entities but they have separeted classes for products, discounts.

how it can be achived ?

as i am new to entity framework so my question might be not clear , so please comment if you want to know anything else or i am missing in my question.

EDITED

as i am searching continuously on Google i found that what i want to achieve can be done with POCO entity generator

so my question is now what steps should i follow for POCO Entity Genrator to create a single .edmx file but separate entities classes.
