Question

I’m in the process of adding new fields, on my class but I’ve noticed the table won’t be created until I save an object of that class. It’s a bit annoying, is there a way to force it to create that table on App start or something?

Answer 1

You can force the initializer at Application_Start by

protected void Application_Start()
{
    Database.SetInitializer(new DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<MyContext>());
    (new MyContext()).Database.Initialize(true);
}
