Question

I have created a class which models my existing table in MySql database. Below is the class:

  public class class1
{
    [Key]
    public int id { get; set; }

    public int LastName { get; set; }
    public int FirstName { get; set; }

}

I have also created a this class.

public class Dbo : DbContext
{
    public DbSet<class1> Classs { get; set; }
}

I have created my controller. Now when I run the application, I get this error:

 MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException was unhandled by user code
  Message=You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '`id` int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, 
    `LastName` int NOT NULL, 
    `Fi' at line 2
  Source=MySql.Data
  ErrorCode=-2147467259
  Number=1064

MySql table has this structure:

    `id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `LastName` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `FirstName` int(11) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT

According to error message, EF trying to create Db for you.

If you add null initializer it should work

    public class Dbo : DbContext
    {
        public DbSet<class1> Classs { get; set; }
        public Dbo()
        {
            Database.SetInitializer<Dbo>(null);
        }
    }

Here is another codeproject article and it worked for me: Using Entity Framework 4.1 Code First with an existing database
