Recently i've picked up my EF 4.1 / MVC 3 project again and started building in actual frontend capabilities.

Now i'm developing a "simple" message system but upon going to that page i get the error as stated in the title

EDIT

It creates the database just not the models.

Stack trace:

InnerException : {"A column ID occurred more than once in the specification."}

The recently added code is.

Controller:

//
// GET: /Inbox/Index/5/1
public ActionResult Index(int? Id, int Page = 1)
{
    try
    {
        const int pageSize = 10;
        var messages = from m in horseTracker.Messages
                        where m.ReceiverId.Equals(Id)
                        select m;

        var paginatedMessages = new PaginatedList<Message>(messages, Page, pageSize);

        return View(paginatedMessages);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {

    }
    return View();
}

Models

public class Message
{
    [Key]
    public int Id { get; set; }

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Subject is required")]
    [Display(Name = "Subject")]
    public string Subject { get; set; }

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Message is required")]
    [Display(Name = "Message")]
    public string Content { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [Display(Name = "Date")]
    public DateTime Created { get; set; }

    public Boolean Read { get; set; }

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Can't create a message without a user")]
    public int SenderId { get; set; }
    public virtual User Sender { get; set; }

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please pick a recipient")]
    public int ReceiverId { get; set; }
    public virtual User Receiver { get; set; }
}

public class User
{
    [Key]
    public int Id { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [Display(Name = "Username")]
    public string UserName { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [Display(Name = "First Name")]
    public string FirstName { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [Display(Name = "Last Name")]
    public string LastName { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [Display(Name = "E-Mail")]
    public string Email { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [Display(Name = "Password")]
    public string Password { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [Display(Name = "Country")]
    public string Country { get; set; }

    public string EMail { get; set; }

    //Races
    public virtual ICollection<Message> Messages { get; set; }
}

modelBuilder.Entity<User>()
    .HasMany(u => u.Messages)
    .WithRequired(m => m.Receiver)
    .HasForeignKey(m => m.ReceiverId)
    .WillCascadeOnDelete(false);

Anyone have a clue on why i might be getting that error? Before i added these classes it was working fine.
