    copied!<p>I am working on an ASP.Net MVC 3 web application using EF 4.1. Since today, I am getting this error:</p> <p>System.ArgumentException: Duplicate type name within an assembly</p> <p>and I can't figure out what is causing it. It is happening in my repository when performing a Find:</p> <pre><code>public virtual T GetById(long id) { return dbset.Find(id); } </code></pre> <p>Here is the stack trace:</p>

It was called something like myKeyId, and I now have myKey1Id and myKey2Id in that table. I checked everywhere in my code, and I can't find myKeyId anymore.</p> <p>The error message is so generic that I don't know how to pin-point what is causing this error. Any advice would be welcome.</p>
