How to initialize database with Entity Framework a

问题:

I have a MVC4 web application that use Entity Framework 5.0 Code First.

In Global.asax.cs I have a bootstrapper that initialize the Entity.Database, force the database to be initialized and initialize the database for the Membership. The code is this one:

System.Data.Entity.Database.SetInitializer(new DatabaseContextInitializer());
Database.Initialize(true);
WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection(DEFAULTCONNECTION, "UserProfile", "UserId", "UserName", autoCreateTables: true);

The DatabaseContextInitializer is very simple for the moment:

public class DatabaseContextInitializer : DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<DatabaseContext>
{
    protected override void Seed(DatabaseContext dbContext)
    {
        base.Seed(dbContext);
        db.Set<Workout>().Add(new Workout {Id = 1, Name = "My First workout user1"})

    }
}

The problem is that I cannot create User to the membership with:

WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection(DEFAULTCONNECTION, "UserProfile", "UserId", "UserName", autoCreateTables: true);

Because I have a problem with that the database is not created. How do you initialize some default user for your database with Entity Framework 5.0 and Asp.Net MVC 4?

Take a look at the following article for the recommended approach for seeding your database using migrations.

Here are the steps:

  1. Create a new ASP.NET MVC 4 application using the Internet Template
  2. In your package manager console type the following command:

    enable-migrations
    
  3. This will create a ~/Migrations/Configuration.cs file in which you could seed your database:

    using System.Data.Entity.Migrations;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Web.Security;
    using WebMatrix.WebData;
    
    internal sealed class Configuration : DbMigrationsConfiguration<MvcApplication1.Models.UsersContext>
    {
        public Configuration()
        {
            AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = true;
        }
    
        protected override void Seed(MvcApplication1.Models.UsersContext context)
        {
            WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection("DefaultConnection", "UserProfile", "UserId", "UserName", autoCreateTables: true);
    
            if (!Roles.RoleExists("Administrator"))
            {
                Roles.CreateRole("Administrator");
            }
    
            if (!WebSecurity.UserExists("john"))
            {
                WebSecurity.CreateUserAndAccount("john", "secret");
            }
    
            if (!Roles.GetRolesForUser("john").Contains("Administrator"))
            {
                Roles.AddUsersToRoles(new[] { "john" }, new[] { "Administrator" });
            }
        }
    }
    
  4. Specify the memebership and role providers in your web.config:

    <roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="SimpleRoleProvider">
      <providers>
        <clear/>
        <add name="SimpleRoleProvider" type="WebMatrix.WebData.SimpleRoleProvider, WebMatrix.WebData"/>
      </providers>
    </roleManager>
    <membership defaultProvider="SimpleMembershipProvider">
      <providers>
        <clear/>
        <add name="SimpleMembershipProvider" type="WebMatrix.WebData.SimpleMembershipProvider, WebMatrix.WebData" />
      </providers>
    </membership>
    
  5. Run the migration in your package manager console:

    update-database -verbose
