Приведение к типу значения "Int32" не удалось, так как материализованное значение равно null

Я ни за что на свете не могу понять, в чем тут дело. Каждый раз, когда запрос идет на выполнение " ToList ()", я получаю ошибку выше.

Вот еще информация об этом:

<Error>
<Message>An error has occurred.</Message>
<ExceptionMessage>
The cast to value type 'Int32' failed because the materialized value is null. Either the result type's generic parameter or the query must use a nullable type.
</ExceptionMessage>
<ExceptionType>System.InvalidOperationException</ExceptionType>
