code-first

I have created an MVC 3.0 application using Visual Studio 2012, .NET 4.5 and Entity Framework 5.0. Using Code First Data Migrations, I am able to correctly propagate model changes to my local test database, but I can't figure out how to get this to work when deploying to my staging and production servers using Web Deploy. I have read the following article ... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd394698(v=vs.110)#dbdacfx ... which explains what's supposed to happen, but it's not working for me, as Web Deploy seems unable to detect that I am using Entity Framework. The tutorial shows a

In response to Slauma's answer to my question about running applications that use EF on Windows XP I am converting my application back from Entity Framework 5.0 to use Entity Framework 5.0 and target framework .NET 4.0 (Also called Entity Framework 4.4) However I encounter the following error; System.Data.Entity.DbSet<MyEntity> does not contain a definition for AddOrUpdate and no extension method of a type System.Data.Entity.DbSet<MyEntity> accepting a first argument of type System.Data.Entity.DbSet<MyEntity> could be found. (Are you missing a using directive or assembly reference ) I have

How can I integrate EF 5.0 with membership provider using code first? I have my own database schema which I want to use for registration of users etc. You should take a look at the SimpleMembershipProvider It is very easy to use it together with EF. Update For MVC4 I would start with the blank template. you need WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection to set up the database. WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection("DefaultConnection", "Users", "Id", "UserName", true); It takes as parameters a name of a connectionstring, the table, a unique identifier column and the username-column. The model

I recently updated an app with LINQ to SQL and SQL Server CE 3.5 to Entity Framework 4.1 Code First and SQL Server CE 4.0, and it's now running noticeably slower. I did some before vs. after stopwatch testing, and most major operations of my app appear to be running about 40% slower on average. I'm using all default strategies and configurations for EF Code First except for disabling cascading deletes. When I originally posted this question, I was focused on one query that seemed to be taking particularly long, but I've since realized that it was only particularly slow on first run (see the

What is the best way to separate the mapping of tables to entities using the Fluent API so that it is all in a separate class and not inline in the OnModelCreating method? What I am doing currently: public class FooContext : DbContext { // ... protected override OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder) { modelBuilder.Entity<Foo>().Property( ... ); // ... } } What i want: public class FooContext : DbContext { // ... protected override OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder) { modelBuilder.LoadConfiguration(SomeConfigurationBootstrapperClass); } } How do you do this? I am using C#. You

how can i use asp.net membership in ServiceStack ? (ServiceStack.OrmLite , ServiceStack.Host.AspNet , etc ) mythz You can host ServiceStack on a custom path , i.e. at /api which lets you run ASP.NET web forms and ServiceStack side-by-side and then use the normal ASP.NET membership provider in ASP.NET. You can then share UserSessions with ServiceStack using its Session Provider, here's an example on how to instantiate a Session with MVC - you can use this same class with ASP.NET. The alternative is to forgo the ASP.NET membership provider and just stick to the built-in authentication in
