GUI for migrations?

Question

User1922584255 posted

One would think it was quite logical - the name of the IDE is _VISUAL_ studio. There should be GUIs for everything, including things like migrations.

I really don't like having to type text commands to make changes to my projects.

It could have been made so simple as to just right-click on the solution name in the solution explorer, select Add > Migration > get a dialog box prompting for migration name, dbcontext, etc.

Hi stianen,

do you mean you want to upgrade the visual Studio and migrate your project from one version to another version of Visual Studio?

generally when you open the project in new version of Visual Studio then it will show a prompt for it.

it can be one way or two way upgrade.

if you do it then then project will be converted to the version which is supported  by the newer version of Visual studio.

at this time you not need to type any command.

let me know, if I misunderstand anything in your above description.

I will try to correct myself and try to provide you further suggestions.

if it is some kind of Feature request then you can post your suggestion on Visual Studio user voice and close this thread.
