I am using data transfer objects and I came accross the same error “Mapping and metadata information could not be found for EntityType”. my dtos do not share the same names as my entioty objects. instead of renaming them, I did loaded the dto into a new instance of the EF entity:

public void AddEmployee(EmployeeDto entity)
{
employee_test e = new employee_test();
e.employee_id = entity.EmployeeID;
e.first_name = entity.FirstName;
e.last_name = entity.LastName;
e.active = entity.Active;
e.application_user = entity.ApplicationUser;

_service.AddObject(“employee_test”, e);
_service.SaveChanges();
}
