To Fix "Duplicate type name within an assembly"

I had similar issue. I checked all my models/classes and I have not used duplicate names for types. I deleted the assemblies and regenerated the the model and context object from the database and still had the same issue.

A trace yielded in Visual Studio "Children could not be evaluated". The SOLUTION is to add .ToList(); or ToArray(); or ToDictionary() etc, to your query. etc.

eg. var query = context.TableName.Where(x => x.name =="CodeRealm").ToList();
