Solution 1

This possibly happens when the table or view you trying to add is already exists in the model. So instead of using add tab from the Update wizard[^],use the refresh tab and see the effect. You can also check either the table or view exists in the model by opening in the model file in xml editor.

For more take a look at this ADO.Net Team Blog[^]
