ASP.net Core Application Entity Framework 6 not generating database

Question

I have created an ASP.net Core web Application ( .NET Framework ) application and added the Entity Framework 6 to the project.

I have also created my DB context as follows:

namespace application1
{

    Class _Dbcontext : DbContext
    {
       DbSet<Item> item {get; set;}
       DbSet<ItemView> itemView {get; set;}
     }
}

I have created the models as follows:

Class Item 
{
    public int ID {get; set;}
    public string Name {get; set;}
    List<ItemView> ItemViews {get; set;}
}

Class ItemView
{
   public int ID {get; set;}
   public string Name {get; set;}
   public Item item {get; set;}
}

I have also followed the article found here to set up the project.

when I run the project the database is not generated in the mssqllocaldb or (localdb)/ProjectsV13 .

I can use help knowing how to set up the ASP.NET core Web Application (.NET Framework) template to use Entity Framework 6 .

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

The database is not created until you make the first request to the database: login to the website or the data request. Or you could use special command in the nuget package console:

> update-database

Answer 2

You should do the following: 1. Install Entity Framework 2. Create your model 3. Register your db context with dependency injection in the Startup.ConfigureServices method 4. Create your database: a. Run Add-Migration InitialMigration Note: InitialMigration is a name given by you b. Run Update-Database

Now your database is updated if exists, or created if does not exists...
