Set Up Code First Migrations for EF in ASP.NET MVC 4

First open Package Manager Console: Tools > Library Package Manager > Package Manager Console

1.  Go to the project, either the Web Application or if a separate project for Model, then enable the migration as follows:

PM> Enable-Migrations -ContextTypeName ProductCoC.Model.DataContext

This creates a Migration folder within the project root and creates the initial creation classes as well as the Configuration.cs.  Open Configuration.cs and add your seed.

2.  Initialize

PM> Add-Migration Initial

3.  Now, let's update the database:

PM> update-database

4.  If adding a property to the model classes, change the model class then do an add as follows, any arbitrary name will do:

PM> add-migration AddSoldToPartyAndShipToParty

5.  Now do a database update:

PM> update-database
