I have this model
namespace ProjectTimer.Models
{
public class TimerContext : DbContext
{
public TimerContext()
: base("DefaultConnection")
{
}
public DbSet<Project> Projects { get; set; }
public DbSet<ProjectTimeSpan> TimeSpans { get; set; }
}
public class DomainBase
{
[Key]
public int Id { get; set; }
}
public class Project : DomainBase
{
public UserProfile User { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public IList<ProjectTimeSpan> TimeSpans { get; set; }
}
[ComplexType]
public class ProjectTimeSpan
{
public DateTime TimeStart { get; set; }
public DateTime TimeEnd { get; set; }
public bool Active { get; set; }
}
}
When I try to use this action I get the exception The type 'ProjectTimer.Models.ProjectTimeSpan' has already been configured as an entity type. It cannot be reconfigured as a complex type.
public ActionResult Index()
{
using (var db = new TimerContext())
{
return View(db.Projects.ToList);
}
}
The view is using the model @model IList<ProjectTimer.Models.Project>
Can any one shine some light as to why this would be happening?
