Hi Folks,

I am trying to learn mvc with mysql entity framework 6 code first. I am using VS 2013.

I am really a begginer in this matter.

There are many samples and tutorials around and I have tried some without success.

Can someone recomend a good one for start?

TIA

MVC does not care about database. Please follow tutorials from http://www.asp.net/mvc

Then learn mysql in C#

Finally, my first code first experience sarted.

For future reference I am using VS2013, mysql entity framework 6.

I used a modified version of the contoso university http://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/getting-started/getting-started-with-ef-using-mvc/creating-an-entity-framework-data-model-for-an-asp-net-mvc-application.

In order to make it work I changed SchoolInitializer.cs from

class SchoolInitializer : System.Data.Entity.DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<SchoolContext>

to

class SchoolInitializer : System.Data.Entity.DropCreateDatabaseAlways<SchoolContext>

Hope it helps somenone

Best regards
