Entity Framework Migrations - Enable AutoMigrations along with added migration

Question

I\'m utilizing Entity Framework 4.3 Migrations in my project. I would like to use Automatic migrations so that when I make modifications to my domain objects and my context cla

Answer 1

Here is my current solution, which I'm not completely satisfied with.

protected void Application_Start()
{
    AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();

    RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
    RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);

    var context = new KCSoccerDataContext();
    var initializeDomain = new CreateDatabaseIfNotExists();
    var initializeMigrations = new MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion();

    initializeDomain.InitializeDatabase(context);
    initializeMigrations.InitializeDatabase(context);

}

I'm actually creating two different initializers. The first, using CreateDatabaseIfNotExists, succcessfully goes through and creates tables based on my Domain objects. The second, using MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion, executes all of my explicit migrations.

I don't like it because Automatic Migrations are basically disabled. So in order to add or change my Domain model I have to completely drop the database and recreate it. This won't be acceptable once I've moved the application to production.
