I want to create an ADO.NET model for Azure Database and it creates with success but I can't see the models.
This is how it looks in Visual Studio:
And still in my folder the models are created but I don't see them.
Can you help me?

In visual studio solution explorer expand Employee.edmx file you will see Employee.Designer.cs file. Under that you will find every thing. Here is an image of my previously done project . First try this. I have code example and can solve this if you can expand the edmx file. If not then there is a issue with your edmx file. You have to create object with the enitity name wich is under the tree of the edmx file. With that model you have to write LINQ query to retrieve data from database through your model.Muhammad Ashikuzzaman– Muhammad Ashikuzzaman2020-05-03 18:04:21 +00:00Commented May 3, 2020 at 18:04

The EDMX is a representation of the model - but you have to run the .tt files in order for them to analyze your EDMX to create the model.
UPDATE: The .tt file should be under the .edmx file in your Solution Explorer.
To do this, right-click the .tt and chose to Run (can't remember exactly what the command is) but it will execute your changes to the EDMX and create the various .cs or .vb classes for you. In your case, it's the Employee.Context.tt file that you need to run/execute.
Be careful if you change the generated .cs or .vb files that are created, as if you re-run the .tt file, it'll drop and recreate your code, potentially losing any customisations.
UPDATE: I've found you this really good explanation of each stage which might help.
Hope this helps.
