    I get the above error while building my project yet the code below clearly shows that InstructionMaterials does exist in the EF context class. Any ideas?

    modelBuilder.Entity<InstructionalMaterials>(entity =>
{
	entity.HasKey(e => e.InstructionalMaterialId)
		.HasName("PK_InstructionalMaterials");

	entity.ToTable("InstructionalMaterials", "DIMS");

	entity.Property(e => e.Copyright)
		.HasColumnType("datetime2(3)")
		.HasDefaultValueSql("getdate()");

	entity.Property(e => e.Price).HasColumnType("decimal");

	entity.Property(e => e.Status).IsRequired();

	entity.Property(e => e.Title).IsRequired();
});

    I have four different entity items that are doing this.

    Hi muybn,

    The definition of DbModelBuilder. Entity is:

    public virtual EntityTypeConfiguration<TEntityType> Entity<TEntityType>() where TEntityType : class;

    As you can see, I takes no arguments. So I suggest you could use Fluent Api as followings:

    modelBuilder.Entity<InstructionalMaterials>().HasKey(e => e.InstructionalMaterialId).HasName("PK_InstructionalMaterials");
modelBuilder.Entity<InstructionalMaterials>().ToTable("InstructionalMaterials", "DIMS");
modelBuilder.Entity<InstructionalMaterials>().Property(e => e.Copyright).HasColumnType("datetime2(3)").HasDefaultValueSql("getdate()");
modelBuilder.Entity<InstructionalMaterials>().Property(e => e.Price).HasColumnType("decimal");
modelBuilder.Entity<InstructionalMaterials>().entity.Property(e => e.Status).IsRequired();
modelBuilder.Entity<InstructionalMaterials>().entity.Property(e => e.Title).IsRequired();

    More about Entity Framework Fluent Api, please refer to the following link:

    If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me any time.

    Best Regards,
    Dillion
