EF 4.1 Code First and Existing Database and .NET Membership

Question

I have a database called ApplicationName_Development running on SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition on my development box.

I added .NET membership tables to the databas

Answer 1

Another option could be to use the System.Web.Management namespace. I've had great success with the code below:

string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyDatabaseContext"].ConnectionString;
string database = "MyDatabaseName";
SqlServices.Install(database, SqlFeatures.All, connectionString);

It will just create the database and after that you can add users with the standard membership API.
