Answer 1

Consider creating a custom database initializer. It will be called each time your database is created or recreated.

For example:

public class MyInitializer : DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges where TContext : DbContext
{
    protected override void Seed(TContext context)
    {
        context.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand("DBCC CHECKIDENT('MyTable', RESEED, 1000);");
    }
}

Then register it:

protected void Application_Start()
{
    Database.SetInitializer(new MyInitializer());
}
