Question

I have created my connection string and it seems to be connecting without error. I am simply trying to output the various IDs, but it’s acting like there’s nothing there!

The table is full of records… It doesn’t output any error, either. How can I even debug something like this?

Model:

namespace MvcApplication1.Models
{
    public class Directory
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public bool DELETED { get; set; }
        public Guid CREATED_BY { get; set; }
        public DateTime DATE_ENTERED { get; set; }
        public Guid MODIFIED_USER_ID { get; set; }
        public DateTime DATE_MODIFIED { get; set; }
        public Guid USER_ID { get; set; }
        public Guid BRANCH_ID { get; set; }
    }

    public class MyDbContext : DbContext
    {
        public DbSet<Directory> Directories { get; set; }
    }
}

View:

@model IEnumerable<MvcApplication1.Models.Directory> 

@foreach (var item in Model) {
    <tr>
        <td>
           @item.ID
        </td>
    </tr>
}

Controller:

namespace MvcApplication1.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        private Models.MyDbContext db = new Models.MyDbContext();

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            ViewBag.Message = "Modify this template to jump-start your ASP.NET MVC application.";
            return View(db.Directories.ToList());
        }
    }
}

Thanks to all for your help. I figured it out. I was using the wrong table name to start with, but then I also needed to add Database.SetInitializer<Models.MyDbContext>(null); to my global.asax…
