Question

I am trying to build a database with multiple tables in MVC.
I built a model.cs with the table attributes and let Entity Framework do its thing.
Now I want to create a new table in the same database and link them.

I have tried “creating new table” in the database where my previous table exists. This hands out a type-mismatch exception, invalid key exception, etc…

I also tried adding a new class within the model and tying it to the context…that doesn’t help either…

code looks SOMETHING like this….

---

namespace bleh.bleh
{
    public partial class T1
    {
        //.....attributes primary key
    }

    public class T2
    {
        //...attributes foreign key to T1
    }

    public class TEntity : DbContext
    {
        public DbSet<T1> Tab1....
        public DbSet<T2> Tab2....
    }
}

Please advise…

Here’s the solution I found: add the following line in the StartApplication method of the global.asax file:

Database.SetInitializer<FTContext>(new DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<FTContext>());
