When there is no string specification with the configured class where the Entity Framework creates the tables

Question

I created a new project using Asp.Net MVC with EF, and did not configure the connection string property with the same name as the Context class : Dbcontext.

Rodei enable-Migrations -> worked successfully

Rodei add-Migration Nomemigration -> worked right

Rodei update-database -> worked successfully.

But it did not create in the database I had specified in Web.config, and when trying to run the update-database return it is not running pending.

I wanted to understand in this case it saves in which place this information?

This is my Web.config on the connection part.

<configSections>
    <section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
</configSections>
<connectionStrings>
    <add name="conexao" connectionString="Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=bancoDB;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>

My Class Context

using System;

namespace AppWeb2.Models
{
    public class Mycontext : DbContext
    {      
        //Classes a ser mapeadas
        public DbSet<Pessoa> Pessoa { get; set; }
    }
}

Where is my data?

By default EF uses Localdb, if you did not specify for the Dbcontext constructor which was the conectionstring it probably did this.

By convention, Dbcontext create a database for you.

• If a local instance of SQL Express is available (installed by default with Visual Studio), Code First create the data in that instance.
• If SQL Express is not available, Code First will attempt to use Localdb (installed by default with Visual Studio)
