Creating seed model from data already in DB
- by Nick Brown
Is there a way to convert data in an existing database into objects that can easily be put into a seed method?
Essentially I'd like to let some people add lines to my DB via a form and then convert that into an object that I can re-seed the DB anytime I need to make changes.
The database itself is created via code-first using the following model:
public class Combo
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string MainPrefix { get; set; }
public string MainDescriptor { get; set; }
public string MainDish { get; set; }
public string Connector { get; set; }
public string SecondaryDescriptor { get; set; }
public string SecondaryDish { get; set; }
}
