I have this on my web.config.
<add name="AppDataContext" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\AppDatabase.mdf;Initial Catalog=AppDatabase;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
Global.asax APplication Start
Database.SetInitializer<AppDataContext>(new AppDataContextInitializer());
AppDataContextInitializer.cs
public class AppDataContextInitializer : System.Data.Entity.CreateDatabaseIfNotExists<AppDataContext>
{
protected override void Seed(AppDataContext context)
{
#region Seed Modules
context.ModuleList.Add(new Module() { Id = 1, ModuleName = "Contabilidad", FontAwesomeClass = "ambulance" });
context.ModuleList.Add(new Module() { Id = 2, ModuleName = "Recursos Humanos", FontAwesomeClass = "heartbeat" });
context.ModuleList.Add(new Module() { Id = 3, ModuleName = "Inventario", FontAwesomeClass = "medkit" });
#endregion
base.Seed(context);
}
}
AppDataContext.cs
public class AppDataContext : DbContext
{
public AppDataContext(): base("AppDataContext")
{
}
public DbSet<Module> ModuleList { get; set; }
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<PluralizingTableNameConvention>();
}
}
and the module.cs
public class Module
{
[Key]
public int Id { get; set; }
public string ModuleName { get; set; }
public string FontAwesomeClass { get; set; }
}
However my database is not created, what am I missing?
Update 1, I added this on the global.asax
AppInitializacionHandler.Initialize();
I created this class:
public class AppInitializacionHandler
{
public static void Initialize()
{
Database.SetInitializer(new AppDataContextInitializer()); //if u want to use your initializer
using (var db = new AppDataContext())
{
db.Database.Initialize(true);
}
}
}
and the initializer seed is as before
Database is created but no ROWS are added.
The Initializer is never called if you don't access to the DB. If you want to create the DB when the application start call the
Initialize
method in your Global.asax:Update 1:
The problem is you are setting the Initializer in a different
Database
instance, try this:Or set the Initializer on the
DbContext
constructor:
