title: Invalid object name exception refers to an object that I haven't created
body: <p>Currently, I am trying to pull information from a database using the EntityFramework. As such, I have connected to the proper database:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;add name="ChartConn" connectionString="Data Source=****;Initial Catalog=****;User ID=****;Password=****;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where the asterisks are filled in with the correct personal information for that database. </p>
  
  <p>The issue is when I attempt to pull information from this database with the following in my controller:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public ActionResult Index()
  {
      var q = (from c in db.ChannelMaps
              select c.LABEL).ToList();
  
      return View(q);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and the following in the model, CHANNELMAP:</p>
  
  <pre><code>using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
  using System.Data.Entity;
  using System.Linq;
  using System.Web;
  
  namespace ChartApp.Models
  {
      public class CHANNELMAP
      {
          [Key]
          public int CHANNELNUM { get; set; }
          public int COLUMNID { get; set; }
          public string LABEL { get; set; }
          public string RAWUNITS { get; set; }
          public double? MULT { get; set; }
          public double? ADDER { get; set; }
          public int? DATATYPEID { get; set; }
          public int? OPCODEID { get; set; }
          public decimal? OPVALUE { get; set; }
          public int? SITEID { get; set; }
          public string DASNAME { get; set; }
      }
  
      public class ChannelMapContext : DbContext
      {
          public ChannelMapContext()
              : base("ChartConn")
          {
              Database.SetInitializer&lt;Models.ChannelMapContext&gt;(null);
          }
  
          public DbSet&lt;CHANNELMAP&gt; ChannelMaps { get; set; }
  
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get an error: Invalid object name <code>dbo.CHANNELMAPs</code>, that points to the first line (<code>from c in db.ChannelMaps</code>) of my linq query in my controller. This is strange because my model's name is CHANNELMAP, so I am unsure as to why I am getting an error for an invalid name for an object that I have not used. What is causing this error? I have tried changing the name of my model numerous times, as well as triple-checking to make sure my connection string and property names are all set up accordingly.</p>
