Shame I couldn't find a better answer...but I just ended up leaving them set as Metadata Artifact Processing and then in a static constructor for my ObjectContext type I extracted the csdl/msl/ssdl using Assembly. GetExecutingAssembly(). GetManifestResourceStream() and wrote them to disk in the executing assembly's location.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
