Entity Framework Not Showing Database - asp.net

Question

Working with Code First feature of Entity Framework 4.1 using an ASP.NET MVC 3 project.
However the database (SQL Server 2008 R2) does not automatically create the table mapping on application startup. Any ideas on how to make it do so?
using System;
using System.Data.Entity;
namespace MvcMovie.Models {
public class Movie {
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public DateTime ReleaseDate { get; set; }
public string Genre { get; set; }
public decimal Price { get; set; }
}
Also there is this database context class
public class MovieDBContext : DbContext
{
public DbSet<Movie> Movies { get; set; }
}
}
In global.asax file
protected void Application_Start()
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
}
Kindly help?? I am a beginner? Even you could suggest some reading material for asp.net it would be of great help ?

Answer 1

Here is a good overview. You can use a config entry:
<entityFramework>
<contexts>
<context type="ContosoUniversity.DAL.SchoolContext, ContosoUniversity">
<databaseInitializer type="ContosoUniversity.DAL.SchoolInitializer, ContosoUniversity" />
</context>
</contexts>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.LocalDbConnectionFactory, EntityFramework">
<parameters>
<parameter value="v11.0" />
</parameters>
</defaultConnectionFactory>
<providers>
<provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
</providers>
</entityFramework>
Or set it up via code as mentioned here:
Database.SetInitializer(new DropCreateDatabaseAlways<BlogContext>());
using (var db = new BlogContext())
{
db.Database.Initialize(false);
...
}
