Answer 1

You can do that using EF Model Browser:

• Open Entity Model Browser
• Navigate to your entity under YourModel/Entity Types
• right click + Properties
• You can chance entity type name here

Or using designer:

• right click on your entity on the design pane + Properties from context menu
• Change Name property value

It will change generated entity class name without changing the database table nama.
