OK.
So is Dataset your sub-typed EntityManager, and ScheduledItems a method returning an EntityQuery<ScheduledItem>? How many items should be returned by the query?
You say you also get this exception when doing inserts or updates for entities of this type? I'm not sure I follow you. Does the exception occur when making the SaveChanges() call?
What is different about the ScheduledItem entity than other entities in your model? Is in inherited from another entity? Does it have a multi-column key? Does it contain any complex types? What kinds of associations does it have with other entities? Can you post the csdl for this entity and for any associations it's a part of?
Can you also post the full exception, including stack trace and inner exception(s), received when you run the query above?
Thanks.
