访问DBSet时出现NullReferenceException。 使用MySQL，EF6

Question

I am trying to migrate an existing ASP.NET MVC application from SQL Server to MySQL. The application uses Entity Framework v6.

Whenever i run the application it throws a NullReferenceException at the same point. The class where the Nullpointer is thrown:

    namespace SportsStore
{
    public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
    {
        protected void Application_Start()
        {
            AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
            FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
            RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
            BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
VerhuurContext context = new VerhuurContext();
           // new VerhuurContext().Categories.ToList();
            context.Categories.ToList(); //NULLPOINTER IS THROWN HERE
            ModelBinders.Binders.Add(typeof(Cart), new CartModelBinder());
        }
    }
}

This is the context class:

[DbConfigurationType(typeof(MySql.Data.Entity.MySqlEFConfiguration))]
public class VerhuurContext : IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser>
{
    public VerhuurContext() : base("Verhuur")
    {
    }


    public virtual DbSet<Product> Products { get; set; }
    public virtual DbSet<Customer> Customers { get; set; }
    public virtual DbSet<Category> Categories { get; set; }
    public virtual DbSet<Nieuwsbericht> Nieuwsberichten { get; set; }

    //public DbSet<Image> Images { get; set; } 

    protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {

        base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
        modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<PluralizingTableNameConvention>();
        modelBuilder.Configurations.AddFromAssembly(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());

    }

    public static VerhuurContext Create()
    {
        return DependencyResolver.Current.GetService<VerhuurContext>();
    }
}

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Fixed it. I didn't follow the tutorial for migrating from SQL to MySQL properly.

base() needed to have the name of the connectionstring inside it. Plus I added the wrong port to the connectionString.
