Description
With a normal type and a shared-type entity type:
```C#
modelBuilder.Entity();
modelBuilder.SharedTypeEntity>("Shared", b =>
{
b.Property("Id");
});
```
Confusing (incorrect) messages are generated when attempting to use a DbSet with the correct type but the wrong set name.
```C#
var set = context.Set>("Foo").ToList();
```
```
Cannot create a DbSet for 'Dictionary' because it is configured as an shared-type entity type.
Access the entity type via the 'Set' method overload that accepts an entity type name.
```
```C#
var set = context.Set("Foo").ToList();
```
```
Cannot create a DbSet for 'Blog' because this type is not included in the model for the context. However the model contains
an entity type with the same name in a different namespace: 'Blog'.
