I am getting the following error during the 'generate metadata' stage for CodeFirst:

 

C:\Program Files\MSBuild\IdeaBlade\IdeaBlade.DevForce.Common.targets(115,6): error : An error occurred during metadata generation and a metadata file could not be created. Error: The given key was not present in the dictionary.

EntityModelMetadataDeploy: No metadata files generated.
This occurs immediately after adding the .cf file. The project builds fine without the .cf file.
I am using VS2010 on Win 7 Professional (x86), with DevForce 6.1.3.1.
 
Thanks,
Chris

I am currently experiencing the same issue. Was there any steps taken to resolve this?

Worked it out. I didn't have one of my classes marked as [ProvideEntityAspect]
