Join Jess Chadwick for an in-depth discussion in this video Solution, part of Learning ASP.NET Core MVC.
- [Instructor] In order to solve this challenge,…you needed to convert the SpecialsDataContext…into an entity framework DbContext…and then add an I.D. field to the Special class…to act as its primary key in the database.…Notice how I updated the existing…get monthly specials method to just…return the collection of Specials from the database.…Creating methods like this on your Db context classes…is not only supported, I'd encourage it.…
You also needed to configure the context…in just the way that I configured the blog data context.…First, remove the old registration…for the SpecialsDataContext…and replace it with an AddDbContext registration…and finally, you needed…to run the application at least one time,…so that entity framework would create the database for you.…
Once the database is created,…you can go in and add all…of the Specials data that you like.…With the data in place, you can go back, refresh the page,…and there you have it.…No more hard-coded Specials data.…Now that I've shown you the solution for this challenge,…
