Can't make EF Code First work with manually changed data base
asp.net-mvc-3, c#, ef-code-first, entity-framework
Solution
Try to add this to startup of your application (you can put it to `App_Start`):
Database.SetInitializer<EFDbContext>(null);
It should turn off all logic related to handling the database from EF. You will now be fully responsible for keeping your database in sync with your model.
Problem
I've added two new properties to my domain model class and two properties to a data table accordingly. Then I tried to launch my mvc web application and got ``` The model backing the 'EFDbContext' context has changed since the database was created. Consider using Code First Migrations to update the database (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=238269). ``` Having read the following posts: MVC3 and Code First Migrations EF 4.3 Automatic Migrations Walkthrough I tried to `Update-Database` through Package Manager Console, but got an error ``` Get-Package : Не удается найти параметр, соответствующий имени параметра "ProjectName". C:\Work\MVC\packages\EntityFramework.5.0.0\tools\EntityFramework.psm1:611 знак:40 + $package = Get-Package -ProjectName <<<< $project.FullName | ?{ $_.Id -eq 'EntityFramework' } + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-Package], ParameterBindingException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,NuGet.PowerShell.Commands.GetPackageCommand The EntityFramework package is not installed on project 'Domain'. ``` But the Entityframework is installed on project Domain. I removed it from references, deleted package.config and sucessfully reinstalled EF. But `Update-Database` still returns same error. `Update-Database -Config` does as well What am I doing wrong? EDIT Many thanks to Ladislav Mrnka, I'll try to rephrase my question. As far as I changed my data table manually, I am not expected to use migration. But how can I now make EF work with manually edited domain model class and data table?
