asp.net mvc - Database Not Being Created In Code First Approach -

i have seen few questions this, none seem answer question - common response seems 'lazy loading - database/tables created when try access them' in case am:

        dim students list(of student) = db.students.tolist 

the above throwing error, because students table empty/null.

here (very simple) schoolcontext:

imports system.data.entity  public class schoolcontext inherits dbcontext  public students dbset(of student)  end class 

here schoolinitialiser class:

imports system.data.entity  public class schoolinitializer inherits dropcreatedatabasealways(of schoolcontext)   protected overrides sub seed(context schoolcontext)     dim students list(of student) = new list(of student) {     new student("jessica", "jones"),     new student("chuck", "norris"),     new student("rambo", "john")     }      each student in students         context.students.add(student)     next      context.savechanges()  end sub end class 

and connection string in web.config:

<add name="schoolcontext" connectionstring="data source=    (localdb)\mssqllocaldb;attachdbfilename=|datadirectory|\school.mdf;initial catalog=aspnet-webapplication1-20160205092922;integrated security=true" providername="system.data.sqlclient" /> 

and global.asax calling setinitialize function

imports system.data.entity imports system.web.optimization  public class mvcapplication inherits system.web.httpapplication  protected sub application_start()     database.setinitializer(new schoolinitializer)     arearegistration.registerallareas()     filterconfig.registerglobalfilters(globalfilters.filters)     routeconfig.registerroutes(routetable.routes)     bundleconfig.registerbundles(bundletable.bundles) end sub end class 

no database seems created within appdata folder , far can tell, set okay? suggestions?

thanks!

so figured 1 out, in case comes across similar problem. using vb, imagine things got lost in translation c#.

there few issues this. first 1 studentcontext class needed properties tables, not global variables:

'not public students dbset(of student) public property students() dbset(of student) 

after this, errors easier figure out. second error due not having key on student model, added this:

<key()> public property _studentid integer 

to both property , global variable. next, not connecting database reason, had download , install localdb.

finally, complaining didn't have parameterless constructor. had add in empty constructor in student model.

finally - working (yay)
