Set database collation in Entity Framework Code-First Initializer

Question

I want to set the default collation for a database, when Entity Framework Code First creates it.

I\'ve tried the following:

public class TestInitiali         


        

Answer 1

1):
    public class DataBaseContext : System.Data.Entity.DbContext
    {
        public DataBaseContext() : base("MyDB") { }
        static DataBaseContext()
        {
            System.Data.Entity.Database.SetInitializer(new MyInitializer());
        }
     ....
    }

2):
    public class MyInitializer : DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges
    {
        public MyInitializer() { }

        protected override void Seed(DataBaseContext context)
        {
            base.Seed(context);
            using (var conn = new SqlConnection(context.Database.Connection.ConnectionString))
            {
                using (var cmd = conn.CreateCommand())
                {
                    cmd.CommandText =
                        string.Format("ALTER DATABASE [{0}] COLLATE Persian_100_CI_AS",
                            context.Database.Connection.Database);
                    conn.Open();
                    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                    conn.Close();
                }
                context.Database.Connection.Close();
            }            
        }
    }
