How to disable Migrations from an EF6 project?

Question

Hello!

I have a class library with models using Code First and enabled Migrations with the command "enable-Migrations" in PMC to test and works very well. As I am at the beginning of the model definitions, I prefer to leave it until after making the first production deploy.

How do I disable Migrations from my project?

Answer 1

Place false in the AutomaticMigrationsEnabled and when you need it again put true.

Example:

internal sealed class Configuration : DbMigrationsConfiguration<YourContext>
{
    public Configuration()
    {
        AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = false;
    }
}

You can also use Add-Migration InitialSchema -IgnoreChanges, to create an empty Migration under the current model.

In that link, has videos and interesting explanations on the subject, despite being in English, the text is very easy to understand.
