MVC 5 - type arguments for the "..." method cannot be taken out of use. Try explicitly specifying type arguments

I have been studying MVC 5 for the last couple of weeks. Until now, I have had few questions until yesterday. Everything worked fine until last night when I opened VS to work on my projects.

My problems:

To clean up some things, I restarted my computer, repaired the VS installation, deleted temporary folders from AppData, etc. I have exhausted all possible solutions that I could find. Now about my problems.

First of all, I stopped working on my current project and created a new project using the same database model. A database is an Azure SQL database. For each of the objects, I created my own class for applying data annotations that look like this: (I deleted all data annotations because there were a lot of them. The error still persists)

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Dyad.GreenvilleFoodTrucks.Data
{
[MetadataType(typeof(LocationMetadata))]
public partial class Location
{
}

public class LocationMetadata
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public int TruckID { get; set; }
    public Nullable<System.DateTime> StartTime { get; set; }
    public Nullable<System.DateTime> EndTime { get; set; }
    public Nullable<System.DateTime> Date { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public string Address { get; set; }
    public string State { get; set; }
    public string ZIP { get; set; }

    public virtual Truck Truck { get; set; }
}
}

And the EF object created from my database:

namespace Dyad.GreenvilleFoodTrucks.Data
{
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public partial class Location
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public int TruckID { get; set; }
    public Nullable<System.DateTime> StartTime { get; set; }
    public Nullable<System.DateTime> EndTime { get; set; }
    public Nullable<System.DateTime> Date { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public string Address { get; set; }
    public string State { get; set; }
    public string ZIP { get; set; }

    public virtual Truck Truck { get; set; }
}
}

Then I made the lining element using my newly created model, with the context that was created by EF, not ApplicationDBContext.

Now, when I go to the generated views, ViewBag.title = "title"; gives me this error: "One or more types cannot be found to compile a dynamic expression. Did you not provide a link?" Note that this happens in all CRUD cshtml files, as well as in the index.

, @Html.LabelFor/@Html.DisplayNameFor, , "For", : " " System.Web.Mvc.Html.DisplayNameExtensions.DisplayNameFor(System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper, System.Linq.Expressions.Expression > ) " . ."

. , .

@model Dyad.GreenvilleFoodTrucks.Data.Location

@{
ViewBag.Title = "Create";
}

<h2>Create</h2>
