Yep, it does look like a code generation error.  Thanks for pointing it out, we'll log the bug report.

I am trying to use nested complex types and I believe there is a code generation error.
 
Here is what my complex types look like:
 


<ComplexType Name="AddressInfo">


  <Property Name="Street1" Type="String" MaxLength="200" />


  <Property Name="Street2" Type="String" MaxLength="200" />


  <Property Name="City" Type="String" MaxLength="200" />


  <Property Name="State" Type="String" MaxLength="200" />


  <Property Name="PostalCode" Type="String" MaxLength="200" />


  <Property Name="Country" Type="String" MaxLength="200" />


  <Property Name="DateChanged" Type="DateTime" Nullable="true" />


</ComplexType>


<ComplexType Name="ContactInfo">


  <Property Name="Address" Type="DBModel.AddressInfo" Nullable="false" />


  <Property Name="BillingAddress" Type="DBModel.AddressInfo" Nullable="false" />


  <Property Name="Phone" Type="String" Nullable="true" MaxLength="200" />


  <Property Name="PhoneWork" Type="String" Nullable="true" MaxLength="200" />


  <Property Name="PhoneMobile" Type="String" Nullable="true" MaxLength="200" />


  <Property Name="PhoneFax" Type="String" Nullable="true" MaxLength="200" />


  <Property Name="Email" Type="String" Nullable="true" MaxLength="200" />


  <Property Name="NewEmail" Type="String" Nullable="true" MaxLength="200" />


  <Property Name="NewEmailDate" Type="DateTime" Nullable="true" />


  <Property Name="ContactNotes" Type="String" Nullable="true" MaxLength="200" />


</ComplexType>
And this results in the following generated code for the ContactInfo class:



/// <summary>Constructs any non-nullable complex types.</summary>


public ContactInfo() {


this.Address = new Address();


this.BillingAddress = new BillingAddress();


this.Phone = (String)EntityFactory.GetDefaultValue(typeof(String)); 


this.PhoneWork = (String)EntityFactory.GetDefaultValue(typeof(String)); 


this.PhoneMobile = (String)EntityFactory.GetDefaultValue(typeof(String)); 


this.PhoneFax = (String)EntityFactory.GetDefaultValue(typeof(String)); 


this.Email = (String)EntityFactory.GetDefaultValue(typeof(String)); 


this.NewEmail = (String)EntityFactory.GetDefaultValue(typeof(String)); 


this.ContactNotes = (String)EntityFactory.GetDefaultValue(typeof(String)); 


}
The error is when it tries to instantiate new AddressInfo classes.  Instead of using the typename of AddressInfo, it is using the fieldname of Address and BillingAddress.  I see the same thing in other places in the code where the nested complex types are instantiated.
