Purpose and semantic of IMigrationMetadata interface in Entity Framework

Question

I\'m trying to find out what is the semantic of System.Data.Entity.Migrations.Infrastructure.IMigrationMetadata interface in the EF. I know that it\'s used to manage and apply D

Answer 1

You go to: EF6 repository on codeplex and you see:

public interface IMigrationMetadata
{
    /// 

    ///     Gets the unique identifier for the migration.
    /// 
    string Id { get; }

    /// 

    ///     Gets the state of the model before this migration is run.
    /// 
    string Source { get; }

    /// 

    ///     Gets the state of the model after this migration is run.
    /// 
    string Target { get; }
}

You can get the project and check references to see how this interface is being used. The base64 thing is your model. Again with the code you should be able to track how it is done.
