Getting Started

  1. Download or clone this repository.
  2. Open the solution in Visual Studio 2017 or higher.
  3. Select the Blip.Data project.
  4. Open a Package Manager Console window.
  5. Select "Blip.Data" for Default Project.
  6. Run: update-database.

This will create the database, apply Entity Framework migrations, and run the Seed method to populate the database with values for the lookup tables.

Configuration

  • Two projects contain configuration strings which may require modification for the developer's specific environment:

    Project File
    Blip.Data App.config
    Blip.Web Web.config
  • The configuration strings specify the instance of SQL Server Express installed with Visual Studio 2017 as the target database server: Data Source=(localdb)\ProjectsV13. Developers using a different target database will have to change the connection strings in both projects.
