I recently learned that table valued functions are not allowed with Entity Framework 4.1.
Having read the comment to this correct answer Table-Valued Functions in Entity Framework? – I figured that I needed to download the June 2011 CTP to use TVFs in my project.

I downloaded and installed the CTP. A lot of the new functions are now available to choose from but I still can’t import TVFs. I go to my EDMX file, right-click and go to ‘Update Model from Database’ but everything in the DATABASENAME/Programability/Functions/Table-valued Functions/ cannot be imported even though that blog specified otherwise.

I then decided to go to the latest version of EF – I downloaded EF v4.3.1 using the NuGet package manager and it is still no use.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
