本地数据库Visual Studio 2017的连接问题

Question

I am creating my first local db with Visual Studio.

I created one project where I installed entity framework, "ConsoleApp4". Then I created a seperate lib "ClassLibrary" (dll) where I added a database (mdf).

I have also built a connection string in numerous ways and put in "ConsoleApp4" app.config.

I am using package manager console to add-migrations and then update database.

The db is created however it is a new db (created a by entity framework) and not the db in the "classLibrary".

How do I get entity framework to understand that it should connect to the db I created in the class library (and just add the new tables)?

Answer 1

I'm working a project with .net and my connection string looks like this, maybe it can help you

<connectionStrings>
    <add name="DefaultConnection" 
         connectionString="Data Source=yourdatasource;Initial Catalog=yourcatalogname;Integrated Security=True" 
         providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>`

Answer 2

Solved by assign the name of the connection string i the db context constructor.

Now it works!
