I have added 4 tables to a database and when I try to update the datasource from a Light Switch project I get the error: "Cannot set a reference property to an invalid value".
None of the new tables are added to the designer.

If I try to delete the Data source I get another error message:
"The deletion failed. The member 'prpTemporada' was not found on the type 'jugadoresListaTodosSearch'".

That type corresponds to a Screen, and it has a property with that name (query).
The project compiles and executes without a problem, and that screen uses that property. No error message is reported at runtime.

3. Navigate in Solution Explorer: Data Sources->seis_azureData
4. Right click on seis_azureData and choose Update Datasource.
5. Select all views and tables.
6. Click Finish
7. Click Continue in Warnings screen.

I will send sourcecode and db script to reproduce if necessary.
