Code First Approach
From Logic Wiki
♠ if you don't use data in startup page you can't see data tables as created. (it took 6 hours)
♠ Code First includes derived classes even if only base class is defined as DbSet property. ♠ (you don't need to add them to dbset if you create them with foreign keys)
♠ The default convention for primary key is that Code First would create a primary key ♠ for a property if the property name is Id or <class name>Id (NOT case sensitive).
Install-Package EntityFramework -Pre -Version 6.0.0
in Model Folder Create Student.cs class
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

{
public class Student

public int ID { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }

Create a folder in root as DAL Create BackOfficeContext.cs file in DAL
using ContosoUniversity.Models;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Data.Entity.ModelConfiguration.Conventions;
namespace ContosoUniversity.DAL
{
public class SchoolContext : DbContext
{
public SchoolContext() : base("SchoolContext") {
}
public DbSet<Student> Students { get; set; }
public DbSet<Enrollment> Enrollments { get; set; }
public DbSet<Course> Courses { get; set; }
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<PluralizingTableNameConvention>();
}
}
}
Create a file named BackOfficeInitializer.cs in DAL folder
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Data.Entity;
using ContosoUniversity.Models;

new Student{) {FirstMidName="Carson",LastName="Alexander",EnrollmentDate=DateTime.Pa rse("2005-09-01")},

students.ForEach(s => context.Students.Add(s));
context.SaveChanges();

courses.ForEach(s => context.Courses.Add(s));
context.SaveChanges();
var enrollments = new List<Enrollment>

enrollments.ForEach(s => context.Enrollments.Add(s));

}
}
}
in Web.Config file...
<entityFramework>
<contexts>
<context type="ContosoUniversity.DAL.SchoolContext, ContosoUniversity">
<databaseInitializer type="ContosoUniversity.DAL.SchoolInitializer, ContosoUniversity" />
</context>
</contexts>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.LocalDbConnectionFactory, EntityFramework">

</parameters>
</defaultConnectionFactory>
<providers>
<provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
</providers>
</entityFramework>
And Again in web.config file
<connectionStrings> <add name="SchoolContext" connectionString="AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|\ContosoUniversity1.mdf;Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;Initial Catalog=ContosoUniversity1;Integrated Security=SSPI;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings> <appSettings> <add key="webpages:Version" value="3.0.0.0" /> <add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" /> <add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" /> <add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" /> </appSettings>
The model backing the context has changed since the database was created Problem
in Global.asax
using System.Data.Entity;
using LogicBO.DAL;
using LogicBO.Models;
......
protected void Application_Start()
{
Database.SetInitializer<BoContext>(new DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<BoContext>());
.Where(q => DbFunctions.TruncateTime(q.DateStart) >= DateTime.Now.Date)
