Problem

I need to modify class Department to make Department ID identity then make affect by migrations to database sql server 2005 .

What I Try

I changed [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.None)] from None to identity .

then from console write enable-migrations but it give me message

Migrations have already been enabled in project 'University Data'. To overwrite

the existing migrations configuration, use the -Force parameter.I also using

-Force but no any result or changed happened .

my class Department

Code: Select all

[Table("Department")]
public partial class Department      { 
public Department()   
{    
}   
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.None)] 
[Key] 
public int DepartmentID { get; set; } 
public string DepartmentName { get; set; }  

  } 
 }
I have class department inside container Containerclass as following :

Code: Select all

public partial class ContainerClass : DbContext     
 { 
public ContainerClass() : base("name=mycon")      
 {   
 }   
public virtual DbSet<Department> Departments { get; set; } 
 } 
Table department already created in database.

Is your project code generated by a predefined template of Entity Developer or written by you manually?

This question exceeds the goals of our support, the provider used is a standard one (System.Data.SqlClient). You should ask this question at MSDN forum.
JIC: if you wrote migration manually and ran it, check carefully the error message in Package Manager Console for tips to solve it.
