Entity Framework query says column not found for a column I never specified

I have the following database structure for a table.

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StepVariables]
(
    [Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [VariableId] [int] NOT NULL,
    [Value] [varchar](max) NOT NULL,
    [StepVariableId] [int] NOT NULL,
    CONSTRAINT [PK_StepVariables] 
        PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([Id] ASC)) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
GO

My query looks like this.

List<StepVariable> stepVariables;

using (HHEDataContext context = new HHEDataContext("HHEDatabase"))
{
    stepVariables = (from sv in context.StepVariables
                     where sv.StepId == stepId
                     select sv).ToList();
}

return stepVariables;

My entity object looks like this.

public class StepVariable
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public int VariableId { get; set; }
    public int StepVariableId { get; set; }
    public string Value { get; set; }
}

When I run this, I get the following error.

An error occurred while executing the command definition. See the inner exception for details.

Does anyone know where it is getting StepAction_ID? Other queries in this database work just fine.

are you using a custom convention? because by default Id should be used as key, but maybe depend from the version of EF

take a look here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/jj679962.aspx

anyway if you can rename your Id property, try using StepVariableId to see if the error goes away

or since you didn't posted the whole class, did you have maybe a navigable property to a StepAction instance?
