I am using EF5 and I have some entities that I wrote myself and also wrote a function that adds all the mappings to the modelbuilder configurations. 

Running a simple test query, I can query items from a table successfully but when I try to add a new item and save, I get an exception that the primary key of my entity is null, even though I gave it a value.

It's quite possible that I messed up the mappings, but I don't know why it would work for a query and not a save.

```
public class User : IMappedEntity 
{
    [Key]
    [Column("USER_ID")]
    public int UserID { get; set; }

    [Column("FIRST_NAME")]
    public String FirstName { get; set; }

    [Column("LAST_NAME")]
    public String LastName { get; set; }

}

protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
        modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<System.Data.Entity.ModelConfiguration.Conventions.PluralizingEntitySetNameConvention>();
        modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<System.Data.Entity.ModelConfiguration.Conventions.PluralizingTableNameConvention>();

    var addMethod = (from m in (modelBuilder.Configurations).GetType().GetMethods()
                     where m.Name == "Add" 
                        && m.GetParameters().Count() == 1
                        && m.GetParameters()[0].ParameterType.Name == typeof(EntityTypeConfiguration<>).Name
                     select m).First();

    if(mappings != null)
    {
        foreach(var map in mappings)
        {
            if(map != null && !mappedTypes.Contains(map.GetType()))
