Answer 1

If you trying to create a Odata controller

Go to DbContext class and then check whether

public System.Data.Entity.DbSet<BackEnd.Models.OrganizationType> YourModel{ get; set; }

Available ior not

If yes .. remove it and then retry

Answer 2

Re-Try after deleting below line from your EFDbContext class.

public System.Data.Entity.DbSet<WebApplication.Domain.Entities.Product> Products { get; set; }

Answer 3

For me, I have to "run custom tool" by right click on model.tt and model.context.tt files, then error got resolved.

Answer 4

Problem may be because of missing [NotMapped] Attribute in one of the model class.

As I missed the attribute and I was cunning my head.

[Display(Name="Logo")]
[DataType(DataType.Upload)]
[NotMapped]
public HttpPostedFileBase Logo { set; get; }

Answer 5

In my case, but using VS 2017, this occurred when I had all my model classes defined within a single .cs file. Once I separated each class out into its own file the generation process completed correctly.

Answer 6

public class EFDbContext : DbContext
{
    public DbSet<Product> Products { get; set; }
}

Forgot the { get; set; }... all works now #crying
