OK, so I have an mid-sized app with about 25 tables created using the Database first approach.

Then Code First comes along and it seems like a good idea. The question is, Do I have to code all of the Entities by hand? Is there some way to take the existing auto-generated class and use it as a starting point? I really don't like the idea of having to rewrite the classes from scratch.
