You can get this error also when you wanna pass table params into stored procedure. There is happen if you use entity famework Context.Database.SqlQuery(). You must necessary set TypeName property for your table params.

SqlParameter codesParam = new SqlParameter(CODES_PARAM, SqlDbType.Structured);
            SqlParameter factoriesParam = new SqlParameter(FACTORIES_PARAM, SqlDbType.Structured);

            codesParam.Value = tbCodes;
            codesParam.TypeName = "[dbo].[MES_CodesType]";
            factoriesParam.Value = tbfactories;
            factoriesParam.TypeName = "[dbo].[MES_FactoriesType]";


            var list = _context.Database.SqlQuery($"{SP_NAME} {CODES_PARAM}, {FACTORIES_PARAM}"
                , new SqlParameter[] {
                   codesParam,
                   factoriesParam
                }
                ).ToList();
