How to force a new seed without any migration

Question

For a changeset I need to populate a table with some seed values.

But... I have no new migration in this changeset. The seed is normally invoked after the last migration has been done.

How can I force the build to seed after deploy ?

(using VS2013, TFS 2012 SP1, EF 5.0, MVC)

Answer 1

You don't need a migration. The Migrations Seed method runs anytime Update-Database is used.

Update-Database -ConnectionString "Data Source=etc"
