Question

Hi this is simple I just need to know how can I run the Update-DataBase command when my application starts. I’m working with a MVC3 application using EF 5.0 Code First Migrations.

You can use MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion.

Put it in your Global.Asax, in Application_Start:

Database.SetInitializer<YourContext>(
    new MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion<YourContext, YourMigrationsConfig>());
