Re: Problem with code-first migration

Question

Hi,

 

I hope this is the right forum to ask this question.

I am in the process of doing an MVC 5 course on Udemy, where I am learning to create an online video rental called Vidly. I placed this question on Udemy Q&A and after 19 days, still no response. Then I placed the question on the instructor's website, still no reply.

 

I am new to this so my wording might be wrong.

I am busy with code-first. I have enabled migration and then typed in "update-database" and  I get the following error;

PM> update-database  Specify the '-Verbose' flag to view the SQL statements being applied to the target database.

PM>

Before I performed the migration, my SQL Server was open and connected.

Furthermore, I thought it was maybe a permission error so I went through all my folders and changed the permission settings. The computer I am working on is not registered on any network.

 

Could one of you clever guys please point me in the right direction?
