Can't map two classes with same name from different namespace · Issue #362 · aspnet/EntityFramework6 · GitHub[^]
This has been a reported EF bug since AT LEAST 2012, and not only is it not fixed (as of EF6.2), but MS has no intention of fixing it. Their response is to use EF7 - in the not-ready-for-prime-time Core framework.
MS says - "This is a limitation of EF that we plan to fix but it is complicated and not something we are planning to address in EF6."
Well, surprise motherf*ckers - PROGRAMMING IS HARD SOMETIMES. Just ask the victims of your apathetic approach to product maintenance!

Way back when V1.0 of .NET was released, it was discovered - and reported - that you can't create a C# abstract UserControl and then bring up derived (concrete) versions in the designer unless you created an interim concrete class to derive from:
public class MyAbstractBase : UserControl
{
...
}
public class MyConcreteControl : MyAbstractBase
{
...
}This gives a designer crash.
public class MyAbstractBase : UserControl
{
...
}
public class MyConcreteIntermediate : MyAbstractBase{}
public class MyConcreteControl : MyConcreteIntermediate
{
...
}Works fine, but pretty much cr@ps over the whole point of abstract classes and almost forces you to have two code bases: release which omits the intermediate, and dev which doesn't.
Which is frankly stupid.
It was reported. And has been with every version of Visual Studio since.
Is it fixed? No chance, there is no money in it.
All I'm saying is: don't hold your breath waiting for a fix ... if there isn't pretty immediate money in it, it probably won't happen.

Oh I already know that, because MS stated as much. That's my complaint - they don't support their crapware.

Cheers!
It's a problem I've never run into, but it's bound to happen some day, and now I can debug it without having to spend three seconds wondering what the problem is.

Even if the vendor promises a fix by a certain date, plan to implement without the promised fix!
Been there/done that during the old wave of 16 bit to 32 bit software migrations.
The promised 32 bit library version NEVER arrived, or maybe it arrived 2 years after promised?
Even if it had arrived, it probably would not have been thread safe.
Fortunately, I had not counted on them and implemented an in-memory, client-server architecture to span the divide.

Boy am I glad that a wise colleague at work has chosen NHibernate instead of EF

the core process for EF does not handle schemas(namespaces) at all. and yes, this is a serious downside to EF.
for those who may misunderstand me:
This is not possible with EF in the same EF model:
schema1.Employer
schema2.Employer

Yeah, even if the models are in different assemblies with completely different namespaces, it still breaks. How could they possibly think that was even close to being acceptable.
Once the code is generated, why does entity framework even freakin care?

because it works with the DB of choice behind the scenes. and for some stupid reason, it can't tell what schema you are using in your DB action thus the error.
It boils down to lousy design. plain and simple.

So, the folks in the City want to build a bunch of houses in a small park in our neighbourhood, practically my doorstep. We have started some FB action (I'm not there) but we also would like to build a website. I guess I am the driver of that.
We want to have a basic website with graphics and stuff, but also links to petitions, and also preferably we would like to upload City documents that are several hundred MBs.
It really should be an online tool - expecting ppl to download&install is a stretch - so that several ppl can share the work.
[Important:] any noob should be able to add a picture or some text
[nicetohave:] but geeks like my should be able to add backlinks like:
113 people have signed the petition
Sign here!
(where 113 comes from an external site)
So I would guess that such an online tool would have to be integrated with the hosting solution?
All advice welcome. Thanks a lot!

Tarbaby. Don't kick it. 
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Unless you want to be stuck maintaining an actual web site, WordPress is probably the answer. Evidently, and idiot can design/maintain a Wordpress web site.

Wordpress, Squarespace, etc...
For more, I like to look for alternatives by googling "[product] vs" and see what the autocomplete does.

You might look into the NextDoor app. I don't know a lot of details, but it sounds like it was made for exactly what you are wanting. My neighborhood uses it, but it is generally just a localized Facebook to let everyone know when a dog is running loose or someone complaining that cars drive too fast during school bus times. I know the app has a documents section, but our neighborhood isn't organized enough to make use of that.

I've not used wordpress but, probably a step up in capability if that doesn't suffice, is something I have: DotNetNuke[^]
Then, for hosting, there are some hosting providers that sorta specialize in DNN hosting. I am currently using (1 personal, 1 for a religious organization) 3Essentials[^] and DNN4Less[^] that I have no complaints about.

Terrific advice. And with some luck it integrates with Crystal Reports.

Oh, that definitely wasn't advice. The best advice was Nextdoor.

This multi-posting of answers at the same time is starting to seem too often to be coincidence
