Man, i hate it when people say "just copy paste it" without at least explaining it a little bit. Lets stick to the most important error for this: the seed from the github repo is the FINISHED seed of the project (i assume), which is incompatable with the current status of the project (e.g. reviews suddenly have ratings, owners have first and last names etc). If some1 has trouble with it, either remove incompatabilities from the seed code or add those to the models.
When I ran the Add-Migration InitialCreate command I got an error. I installed the Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore and the Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools nuggets and everything work. You forgot to install those two.

@@ronjohnson123 I have stopped my studies due to personal reasons, but I finished some courses and reached some SQL queries with .NET, yet I'm planning on continuing next year the journey
Decided to load my data directly into the database before starting the application build, SQL is easy and it's so much easier to do this at database level rather than scripting something into the application. But good to see that you've used a different way which will help people who lack SQL skills!
it works, I had some issues when running the Add-migration InitialCreate command -- after googling I found that I had the connection string spell wrong, but I made it . I proud of myself. Thanks for watching hahaha- like teddy said
For those of you watching who might have trouble hooking up your local server or logging into your local server you have to set "Trust Server Certificate" to "True" when prompted.
In this specific scenario, what would be the best way to add additional restrictions to fields? for instance, Max Limit of character of the Country, or the Review integer can only be from 1 to 5?
nice way to get a connection string! But there is simpler way. We can simply connect to server and choose database with connection string from C# level. Anyway Loved your content, Have a nice day good man
Guys if you have a problem with your Add-Migration and nothing helps, make sure you delete the stuff in your Controllers folder in solution explorer. I forgot to delete the WeatherForecast default app controller and it messed up my build
For anyone unable to add the SQL server in Visual Studio with an error that says cannot connect or find the SQL server, your connection name may not be the same as the Name in the property window. Instead, click on the "View Connection Properties" in the Server Properties window, and copy the server name instead. Put that in the "Server name" in the connect window in VS
Thank you, this was so helpful for me. I was facing the same issue and searching for the solution in stackoverflow and all but I couldn't find it. Finally I just went down to the comments and lo and behold! The answer was right there!
i have a proplem, after doing all the steps well, and after updating the database i fount it generate automatically a column with name OwnerId1 in PokemonOwners table, and a column with name CategoryId1 in PokemonCategory table, and i notice that while adding migration the program tell me that it create those 3 columns in the shadow, i don't know the reason, please could you help me with that!
When I copied the seed file from your github I was getting red squiglies under rating for reviews and FirstName and LastName, I don't remember you adding them to the models. Or does this have something to do with the relationships. Maybe I messed up there. IF someone had a similar issue would appreciate any help.
For me the ServerName was not same as the Name in the Server Properties, It was in View connection properties where its clearly mentioned ServerName might help someone
Hello Teddy, In the DataContext example you have done, there seem to be a composite primary key used and when I was using a singular key i got lost can you provide some guidance
If facing an error during Add-Migration InitialCreate with build failed then do some changes owner(first name and last name instead of just name ) and review (add ratings)class
I get this error -> The property or navigation 'Category' cannot be added to the entity type 'PokemonCategory' because a property or navigation with the same name already exists on entity type 'PokemonCategory'.
Hello teddy. I am getting the tables but there's no data inside. Every command got executed without any errors. Can you give me a clue as to what might have happened?
thank you for like perfect example, because I search what type project can i write, but in the the create seed, I don't understand why you need it? without it isn't good? we can't write different without seed?
When i run "Update-Database", only the table names (without the data) is being stored at default database named "main". Does it because i didnt follow your database name which i opted to name it as pokemonDB?
No, you can name your database whatever you like. Chances are you missed the step at 3:34 where you type the server name at the top and then *choose from the Database Name field at the bottom.* From the SQL Server Object Explorer you can probably delete your "main" database and then restart from 2:45
I have issue when I run command dotnet run seeddata then it throw "System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: startIndex cannot be larger than length of string." I don't know why.

Thank you.. i like this tutorial, actually i'm using as a project for school. just wanna add that there is an easier (for me) way to get the connection string, need just to execute this script >> select 'data source=' + @@servername + ';initial catalog=' + db_name() + case type_desc when 'WINDOWS_LOGIN' then ';trusted_connection=true' else ';user id=' + suser_name() + ';password=' end as ConnectionString from sys.server_principals where name = suser_name()
Tried running this in .Net 8 but built it using .Net 6. All those warnings you got don't work when you get to a an error in Program line where it's trying to run data. Null exception because all those warnings you have in your classes.

Teddy i followed ur video and everthing work perfectly but i forgot to add 1model to add 1 more model to the database do i need just update databas? Or add migration again?
How do you set data context when your model differs from tables you want to use ? How to you use tables with different name than model, and different column names?
Teddy I have gone through this entire video series and now I am applying that to another project but I stuck In seed file creation. which you have missed although I have tried several ways to create it and created also and when I am done with it is showing tons of error while running the "dotnet run seeddata" command......... please help me

I dont know if the course has been updated, but the seed columns doesn't match with de models. Informations such as Rating, FirstName, Last name in Owner and Review does not exist. I checked the UML twice and still, seeds does not match.
I have reached video 5, and after installing the necessary packages, and also written the same code as yours. I am having this error when i run: Add-migration . The errors says Value cannot be null. Parameter('builder'). Please what should I do
So I got everything going good, the only issue I have is that the data is not showing up in the actual local SQL database? I tried to run another Database-Update and it even said No migrations were applied. The database is already up to date. But then I check my database and there isnt anything there?
I really enjoy this series, but I can't get the connection string hack to work. When right-clicking the database and selecting properties, an empty window comes up.
When i run "Update-Database" command I got an error:The ConnectionString property has not been initialized. why is this error caused, how can i fix it.
if you did it teddy´s way, so make sure you reference the correct key from appsettings.json in your programs.cs. "DefaultConnection" is the key with your ConnectionString, so check options.UseSqlServer(builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")) is correct. could be a typo or your autocomplete, messing with you.
Maybe you will know the problem. I use AzureSQL and when I try to execute migrate I receive error: The SELECT permission was denied on the object '__EFMigrationsHistory', database 'master', schema 'dbo'. Currently still figuring out how to grant access to master. But still no hope.
@@TeddySmithDev Thank you for response, anyway, I just used default connection instead what I needed to do was define Catalog. When I defined Catalog= it worked fluently. Thank you for response.
seed class is used to populate dummy data for your project. You dont really need it but if you want to test your API out then this is one way you could create ''random'' test data :)
I don't understand please help me with it: At the beginning we created a database. Then connected sqlserver with the pokemanreview db. when are are seeding you said there should be no database with same name and we saw in your server management there was no db. I assumed you deleted the pokemonreview database at some point. so what is the deal here? we should also remove the databse from server management app? I successfully add-migration but couldnt update-database? can you help me with that?
Hi, Although I create the seed data in the same way, the database is created, all tables are coming, but the data in the tables are not. What could be the problem here?
Hey Teddy, I did everything and it worked out perfectly fine. However, when I checked the data for each table everything was correct except the PokemonOwner table. The PokemonOwners have 0's on the PokemonId column but 1,2,3 on the OwnerId. What could be the issue? @@TeddySmithDev
If you're using docker for whatever reason, your connection string may have the password show up as a bunch of *****. Just put in your actual password, should work out fine(if you've followed everything else properly that is).
Didn't anyone get errors in the seed file. In the seed file provided in teddy's github link, there are firstname and lastname in the owner. But while creating the owner modal, we didnt include them. Did anyone did something about this?
I get this error -> The property or navigation 'Category' cannot be added to the entity type 'PokemonCategory' because a property or navigation with the same name already exists on entity type 'PokemonCategory'.

For those of you watching who might have trouble hooking up your local server or logging into your local server you have to set "Trust Server Certificate" to "True" when prompted.
If you get an error after doing everything correct, in .csproj file of your project, change the InvariantGlobalization to false

Hello, what is the alternative way if I dont use the Add-Migration? In our task, they say that we need to avoid code first approach with migration.
Pokemon is already plural. SInce (from my long term memory) it actualy stands for Pocket monsters

Question, is there a way to avoid all this DB creation by sharing a database? it is not easier to share a file of a database?
Hey, is there a way to manually execute the sql queries instead of using the dbcontext models?
Lets rock with a database
Are you using SQL Express Core?
If you use an local server like he does you can only type "." (a dot without the strings) insteat of copying the whole name
Hello Teddy, In the DataContext example you have done, there seem to be a composite primary key used and when I was using a singular key i got lost can you provide some guidance
You might need to make sure that you are specifying id as primary key? Never seen that issue before so not sure

Both. Run migration and update database in that order.
Are the SQL server and SSMS required? Any tips for mac users?
You can use Azure Data Studio with a docker instance. It works almost exactly the same.
How do you set data context when your model differs from tables you want to use ? How to you use tables with different name than model, and different column names?
You can use annotation to change column names. There is also a builder pattern in DbContext that will allow you to make complex adjustments.
