I am using Entity Framework Code First approach with AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = true
:
Database.SetInitializer(new MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion<DbContext, MigrateDBConfiguration>());
//////////////////////////////////
public class MigrateDBConfiguration : System.Data.Entity.Migrations.DbMigrationsConfiguration<DbContext>
{
public MigrateDBConfiguration()
{
AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = true;
AutomaticMigrationDataLossAllowed = true;
}
}
The first run of the project creates the database and tables as expected. After changing my model by adding or dropping fields, I ran Add-Migration
. The Migration class was generated but after running the project this exception occurs:
An exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in EntityFramework.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: The model backing the 'DBContext' context has changed since the database was created.
EDIT: Per the guidance in the answer of arturo menchaca I changed my code like this:
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
Database.SetInitializer(new MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion<DBContext, MigrateDBConfiguration<DBContext>>());
...
After the change this exception is occurring:
There is already an object named 'MyTable' in the database.
How can I apply my database migration?
Finally, I found a solution to my problem. I call this method in each application start :
public void InitializeDatabase(DataAccessManager context)
{
if (!context.Database.Exists() || !context.Database.CompatibleWithModel(false))
{
var configuration = new DbMigrationsConfiguration();
var migrator = new DbMigrator(configuration);
migrator.Configuration.TargetDatabase = new DbConnectionInfo(context.Database.Connection.ConnectionString, "System.Data.SqlClient");
var migrations = migrator.GetPendingMigrations();
if (migrations.Any())
{
var scriptor = new MigratorScriptingDecorator(migrator);
var script = scriptor.ScriptUpdate(null, migrations.Last());
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(script))
{
context.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand(script);
}
}
}
}
