I am getting the following error here: http://mvcbense.azurewebsites.net/

Invalid object name ‘dbo.BlogPosts’.

This is an MVC3 application using Entity Framework Code First. I have looked elsewhere and have only found something about changing the schema which I assume is what dbo. is.

I am fairly new to EF, but it would look as if EF creates these for me, so I am unsure of what to do. Looking in my local SQL Server Express, all the tables have the dbo. schema on them. Why would I be able to run them locally but not published to Azure?

Thanks

    The problem is that you haven’t configured SQL Azure correctly to migrate your SQL Express based schema first. When you create an ASP.NET Windows Azure Website which is based on local SQL Server, you would have to manually migrate the on-premise DB configured to SQL Azure first and then publish your ASP.NET application to Windows Azure Website. IF you will not do it, your ASP.NET website will not work.

    Based on the exception the initial DB tables are missing so what is needed for you is to select any of the suitable database migration method from the list below to migrate your DB first and then run your Windows Azure Website:
