Migrating to Asp.Net Identity 2.0: new columns not being created in AspNetUsers table

Question

I get the following error when I try to register a new user, using Identity 2.0 and the default MVC 5 application:

Invalid column name \'Email\'.
Invalid col         


        

Answer 1

The reason is you've upgraded to Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework 2.0.0.0 and that changes the user context.

To fix either generate a new db (set a new connection string mdf file) or change the sql table.
