Instructions

Assuming you already have migrations enabled,

1. Add a new WinForms project to your solution.

2. Delete the form automatically added to the new project.

3. Open program.cs in the root of your project and change Form1 to EntityFramework.DatabaseMigrator.DatabaseMigrator

       static class Program
       {
           /// <summary>
           /// The main entry point for the application.
           /// </summary>
           static void Main()
           {
               Application.EnableVisualStyles();
               Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
               Application.Run(new EntityFramework.DatabaseMigrator.DatabaseMigrator());
           }
       }
   

4. Change your migration configuration to inherit from BaseMigrationConfiguration or add and implement the IMigrationConfiguration interface.

   internal sealed class Configuration : BaseMigrationConfiguration<EntityFramework.DatabaseMigrator.Example.Data.BlogContext>
   {
       public Configuration()
       {
           AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = false;
           ContextKey = "EntityFramework.DatabaseMigrator.Example.Data.BlogContext";
       }
   }
