How to run Seed() method of Configuration class of migrations

Question

I have 2 questions:

1) How can I run Seed() method from the package-manager console without updating-database model?

2) Is there a way how to call Seed() method in the code?

Thx for any advice.

Answer 1

Answering your first question. Create a Migration by running add-migration SeedOnly

Clear out all Up() and Down() code generated if there was any pending changes

public partial class SeedOnly : DbMigration {     public override void Up()     {     }      public override void Down()     {     } } 

Then you can Target a Specific Migration by running update-database -TargetMigration SeedOnly in the Package Manager console
