Retrieving entity using early bound classes giving casting error

Posted on by 505

I'm trying to retrieve an entity using the following code

var lead = xrmContext.LeadSet.Where(m => m.Id == guid).FirstOrDefault();

and getting a runtime error:

Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Entity' to type 'SimsHealth.Data.Xrm.Lead'

 

If using OrganizationServiceProxy then we can enable proxy types. 

How can I fix this if I'm using early bound classes?

    I added SkipDiscovery=false to the connection string as given in this blog.
