Access custom property in Entity Class

Question

I'm new to Entity Framework 4.1, and I have pretty much the same problem as this guy: Adding A Custom Property To Entity Framework?

However, when I add a custom read-only property to my Entity using partial classes, I'm unable to access it as a property.

//Auto-generated Entity Class EntityModel.cs
public partial class Model
{
  public string foo {get; set;}
  public string bar {get; set;}
}

//Custom class  EntityModelCustom.cs
public partial class Model
{
   public string baz
   {
      get
      {
       return string.Format("{0}+{1}", this.foo, this.bar);
      }
   }
}

In my code, when I try to obtain property

Model m = new Model();

m.foo and m.bar are accessible. But I can't access m.baz which is what I want :-(

What am I doing wrong?

Make sure both of your definitions are in the same namespace. usually, this is the cause of not seeing the other property.

They're both in the same namespace.

They must also be in the same assembly.
