35,423 PointsEntity framework: where's our data?
Look my code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace CarShowRoom.Models
{
public class CarModel
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string CarModelName { get; set; }
public string BodyType { get; set; }
}
}
using CarShowRoom.Models;
using System.Data.Entity;
namespace CarShowRoom
{
public class Context : DbContext
{
public DbSet<CarModel> CarModels { get; set; }
}
}
using CarShowRoom.Models;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Windows;
namespace CarShowRoom
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void dataGrid_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e)
{
e.Column.Width = new DataGridLength(1, DataGridLengthUnitType.Star);
}
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
}
private void Car_Model_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
using (var context = new Context())
{
context.CarModels.Add(new CarModel()
{
CarModelName = "X5",
BodyType = "BMW type"
});
context.CarModels.Add(new CarModel()
{
CarModelName = "X6",
BodyType = "BMW another type"
});
context.SaveChanges();
var carModels = context.CarModels.ToList();
dataGrid.ItemsSource = carModels;
}
}
}
}
This all working good. But i don't see my database on sqlserver->localdb->Databases. Debug say that database was created on server but i don't see this.

Treehouse TeacherFrantyk,
How about setting a breakpoint in the Car_Model_Click
method and looking at the value of the Context.Database.Connection.ConnectionString
property value? That should provide a clue as to where the data is being stored.
The Context.Database.Connection
property is of type DbConnection
which provides information about the database connection that is being used by the context.
