Use the IDE for intellisense? Great idea except the database models are in a different project... If for whatever reason you can't link the project properly, as a tip for the future, I've ended up just making a separate copy of the project which included a reference to the uncompiled project. And in the worst instance I actually used a reverse generated project from the binary. I actually gradually refactored that auto-generated code into more readable code too!
