So I'll start off with "using," and simply set a variable called a DB, and we'll call ActorDBContext. Hold the Control key down, and hit period, so I can import the name space, and a quick shortcut that I also would like to show you, let me get rid of this, I really like using a snippet, so sometimes instead of, like we're writing out the using statement just by hand completely, I could just hit tab, tab, and it automatically just sets it up for you, the resource. So using db equals new ActorDBContext, and within here, we can start with our seeding process to add a couple of records. So let's say that this is db.Actors, and we'll invoke AddRange…
