Hello,
I am trying to create an Entity Framework database to an existing Umbraco project. I have setup all the MVC files I require according to the following tutorial:
Getting Started with Entity Framework
I am aware of the option of using PetaPoco to create and access databases within the main Umbraco database, but wanted to keep the data separate.
For some reason, the database will not create itself. I can see the reference to the connection in Server Explorer, but there is no database to connect to and it keeps telling me the login has failed. For that matter, I am not able to find the database anywhere on my local dev machine.
My suspicion is that Umbraco is somehow interfering with the creation of and connection to the Entity Framework database.
Is this the case?
If so, is it even possible to add a separate entity framework database to an Umbraco project? I have looked into this and it appears that you can add Umbraco to an existing DB, bu I am really trying to do the opposite.
Thank you.
