Question

I was getting the following error when runing such this code:

var dbContext = new MyDbContext();
var list = dbContext.Set<TEntity>().ToList();

From the changes I made recently to codes I understood that because I added an event to the base class it causes all the problems:

public PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChangedEvent { get; set; }

Applying the NotMapped attribute to the above property my codes now are working again.

Now I want to know if there is anyway to autmatically tell EntityFramework to not Map properties of a specific type(which is not my own type, I could not apply any attribute to a .Net’s type).

Exception:

Sequence does not contains any element.

You can use the Ignore method of DbModelBuilder to exclude a type from being mapped.

public class MyContext : DbContext
{
    protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        modelBuilder.Ignore<PropertyChangedEventHandler>();
    }
}
