Answer 1

Simple solution for this common annoying issue:

Just go to your ".context.cs" file (located under ".context.tt" which located under your "*.edmx" file).

Then, add this line to your constructor:

public DBEntities() 
        : base("name=DBEntities") 
    { 
        this.Configuration.ProxyCreationEnabled = false; // ADD THIS LINE !
    }

hope this is helpful.
