EF Data migrations won't detect changes when adding new migration

Question

I am using Entity Framework 5.0 Data migrations along with code first. When i add a new field to my model and execute the following command in the package manager console.

Answer 1

Just got the same problem but figured out that my new field was added as a member variable and not a property - it was missing the {get; set;} part and that makes migration skip that field.

May not be your case but it might help someone else.
