SPMetal - Specified cast is not valid

Problem:  I am using LINQ to SharePoint to retrieve data.  A specific SPMetal list request generates the error "Specified cast is not valid".  Additional error information shown in the UI:
Web Part Error: Unhandled exception was thrown by the sandboxed code wrapper's Execute method in the partial trust app domain: An unexpected error has occurred.
From the stack trace:
"at System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.RealProxy.HandleReturnMessage(IMessage reqMsg, IMessage retMsg)
at System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.RealProxy.PrivateInvoke(MessageData& msgData, Int32 type) at Microsoft.SharePoint.UserCode.SPUserCodeWorkerProcess.ExecuteDelegate.EndInvoke(IAsyncResult result)"
Hypothesis: The error message is a standard error thrown in a SharePoint sandbox solution. The underlying issue is that the proxy is working on lists using SPMetal however only 1 list is causing the problem.  I remembered that I had altered the list using Powershell.   Obviously the entity proxy class generated is based on the old list.  Generate the proxy with the latest lists.
Resoultion: Run SPMetal again to correct the proxy code as the proxy classes do not match the backend SharePoint lists.
