After creating a migration file using the add-migration command, you have to update the database. Execute the Update-Database command to create or modify a database schema. Use the –verbose option to view the SQL statements being applied to the target database.
Right-click anywhere on the design surface, and select Update Model from Database. In the Update Wizard, select the Refresh tab and then select Tables > dbo > Student. Click Finish.
Yes, you can always do this with vscode.
Install the dotnet ef tool by running the preceding command.
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef
You should get a message in the command prompt as below.
You can invoke the tool using the following command: dotnet-ef Tool 'dotnet-ef' (version '5.0.3') was successfully installed.
Now you should be able to run any ef commands. For example,
dotnet ef database update
That will give you a response as below.
Build started...
Build succeeded.
Done.
Just sharing this, as some people might have not installed the ef tools.
