SQL Server Object Explorer not showing a database

Question

It\'s a very small code-first EF6 Project. I added a migration and updated a database successfully. Here\'s the output:

PM> update-database -Verbose
         


        

Answer 1

Firstly: You are using the Master database. Check this post to know how to set your connection string: Cant find my EF code first database.

Secondly: You didn't connect to SQLEXPRESS:

• In your Server Explorer click on Connect to Database.

• Then in the Server name type .\sqlexpress

• Then Test Connection.

• then in the Select or enter a database name you should get your database.
