I came across a similar problem. After generating my database from an edmx file, I clicked 'save all' and 'build' and all the Types/Model classes that I created showed up in the error box. I researched why this happened and like your replies suggest, I thought it was something that was auto-generated.

However, solutions like deleting the auto-generated classes and re-generating them didn't work for me.

I eventually ran out of patience and decided I'd fix it another way. Since my script was saved, I just deleted the edmx file (and its reference in the web.config) and went back and created another one using "model from database" and didn't touch it after that.

Needless to say, I was pretty mad that it turned out like that.
