Entity Framework and recreating the database when the model changes.

I’ve just started a new MVC5 project, and just couldn’t remember exactly how to do this.

So:

1. Create a new project
2. Create your models
3. Create your DbContext
4. Create a Database Initializer
5. Add Database Initializer into Global.asax

public class ApplicationDbContextInitializer : DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<ApplicationDbContext>
{
    protected override void Seed(ApplicationDbContext context)
    {
        base.Seed(context);
    }
}

Database.SetInitializer<ApplicationDbContext>(new ApplicationDbContextInitializer());
