Answer 1

I was able to solve this issue without renaming the classes, properties, or metadata.

I had my project setup with a T4 transform creating entity objects in a DAL project, and a T4 transform creating domain objects in a Domain project, both referencing the EDMX to generate identical objects, and then I was mapping the DAL objects to the Domain objects.

The error only occurred when I was referencing other classes (enums in my case) from the Domain assembly in my queries. When I removed them, the error went away. It looks like EF was loading up my Domain assembly because of this, seeing the other identically named classes, and blowing up.

To resolve this, I made a separate assembly that only contained my T4 transformed Domain classes. Since I never need to use these inside a query (only after the query to map to), I no longer have this issue. This seems cleaner and easier than the answers below.
