Using Mini-Profilier with EF 4.3 & MVC 4 without creating the database

Question

I have an issue where we are using EF 4.3 Code First against an existing database. I want to use the Mini-Profiler with EF and call

MvcMiniProfiler.MiniPro         


        

Answer 1

I found additional "hack" issue for disabling EntityFramework database initialization (if not required). DefaultInitializer for DB should be set to null before initializing db contexts and MiniProfiler

Type type = typeof(DbContext).Assembly.GetType("System.Data.Entity.Internal.LazyInternalContext");
var field = type.GetField("DefaultCodeFirstInitializer", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static);
if (field != null)
    field.SetValue(null, null);
else
{
    var field2 = type.GetField("_defaultCodeFirstInitializer", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static);
    if (field2 != null)
        field2.SetValue(null, null);
}

So, it will resolve problems with dbo.EdmMetadata and dbo.__MigrationHistory tables
