Question

I have a console application that is using code first Entity Framework 4.3.1. I created a class, a DbContext, a DbSet, and I have a database connection.

The issue is that I mispelled the table name and the program threw an error. I changed the name in the DbSet and the system keeps throwing the same error that has the old name.

Example:

public DbSet<SHIPPER> SHIPPERs { get; set; }

This could not find the SHIPPERs table in SQL server. No problem. I changed it to

public DbSet<SHIPPER> SHIPPER { get; set; }

and I get Invalid object name ‘dbo.SHIPPERs’.”

I did a search in Visual Studio for SHIPPERs and nothing was returned. What am I missing?

Note: I created another DbSet for a different table and that works.

The problem was with pluralization. Add the following code inside of your DbContext class to fix the issue:

    protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<PluralizingTableNameConvention>();
    }
