The error message :-

"The model backing the 'AddressBook' context has changed since the database was created. Either manually delete/update the database, or call Database.SetInitializer with an IDatabaseInitializer instance. For example, the RecreateDatabaseIfModelChanges strategy will automatically delete and recreate the database, and optionally seed it with new data."

I am trying to use the code-first feature and following is what I wrote:-

var modelBuilder = new ModelBuilder();
            var model = modelBuilder.CreateModel();
            using (AddressBook context = new AddressBook(model))
            {
                var contact = new Contact
                {
                    ContactID = 10000,
                    FirstName = "Brian",
                    LastName = "Lara",
                    ModifiedDate = DateTime.Now,
                    AddDate = DateTime.Now,
                    Title = "Mr."

                };
                context.contacts.Add(contact);
                int result = context.SaveChanges();
                Console.WriteLine("Result :- "+ result.ToString());

            }

The context class:-

public class AddressBook : DbContext
    {
        public AddressBook()
        { }
        public AddressBook(DbModel AddressBook)
            : base(AddressBook)
        {

        }
        public DbSet<Contact> contacts { get; set; }
        public DbSet<Address> Addresses { get; set; }
    }

and the connection string:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <connectionStrings>
    <add name="AddressBook" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"  connectionString="Data Source=MyMachine;Initial Catalog=AddressBook;Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;"/>
    </connectionStrings>
</configuration>

So, the database name is "AddressBook" and the error happens when I trying to add the contact object to the context. Am I missing anything here?

+4  A: 

Just found out the answer and thought of updating here. Just need to do the following.

public class AddressBook: DbContext
{
   protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
   {
    modelBuilder.IncludeMetadataInDatabase = false;
   }
}
