Hi recently I have switched from .NET Core 3 to .NET 8 and there I can't use the
dbContext.Database.EnsureCreated
Visual Studio 2022 with .NET version 8 does not have a startup file anymore.
I have tried to add the code in the program file but I am getting error. I don't know ho to access the EnsureCreated method in program.cs file.
In .NET 8 we don't have a startup class. We only have a Program.cs
file where we can add the register the services and there we can also add the Database EnsureCreated
method.
All you need to do is go to the Program.cs
class and before app.UseHttpsRedirection();
Add this code
using(var scope = app.Services.CreateAsyncScope())
{
var dbContext = scope.ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<ApiDbContext>();
dbContext.Database.EnsureCreated();
}
