Entity Framework, Automatic apply Migrations

Question

I am using Entity Framework Code First approach with AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = true:

Database.SetInitializer(new MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersi         


        

Answer 1

If you have change in your entities, you need first run add-migration to create the migration script.

After that in your Global.asax

you need to have some code like this

        var configuration = new MyProject.Configuration();
        var migrator = new System.Data.Entity.Migrations.DbMigrator(configuration);            

        migrator.Update();

every time that you run your asp.net project it'll check if you have a new migration to run and run update-database automatically for you.
