我的 Context 没有从 Entity Framework Core 中的 DbContext 继承

Question

I am trying to keep BooksContext.cs file in a folder called Contexts .

I have a single Book class inside Entities folder. Hence, below is the code in BookContext.cs file.

I have used the following command at Package Manager Console to enable migrations.

PM>Enable-Migrations -ContextTypeName Books.API.Contexts.BooksContext

But, I'm getting below error: The type BooksContext does not inherit from DbContext . The DbMigrationsConfiguration.ContextType property must be set to a type that inherits from DbContext .

Following the error, I am not sure where and how to set DbMigrationsConfiguration.ContextType property

I couldn't get much help from google, and I am not sure what I am missing. Can anyone please help me!

namespace Books.API.Contexts
{
    public class BooksContext : DbContext
    {
        public DbSet<Book> Books { get; set; }

        public BooksContext(DbContextOptions<BooksContext> options)
            : base(options)
        {

        protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
        {

Answer 1

Small mistake, but good learning for me after spending more than one day painful effort. I hope this will be the good learning for others too.

I have added two NuGet packages of: EntityFramework, and Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore which is my mistake.

Just adding NuGet package for Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore will do all the required work.

Answer 2

In Target Project (that contains your context) just install Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools library and if you installed EntityFramework (not Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore ) library, delete it. then try

enable-migrations -ContextTypeName {path of your dbcontext}

for example

enable-migrations -ContextTypeName CommonObjects.Entities.Data.ApplicationDbContext

it works for me in EF6.
