    <p>I have created a C# class library with 3 entity classes and a DbContext for code-first generation of database. All has gone well with version 1. I have created a separate test library and the class library with the DbContext class has been behaving as expected.</p> <p>Now, I wanted to make one of the fields mandatory and following the code-first conventions, I have added a [Required] attribute to the property in the entity class. The next step was to enable migrations.</p> <p>I went to the Package Manager Console, entered "enable-migrations" and ... bang ... "<strong>Unable to load the specified metadata resource</strong>".</p> <p>For reference, my DbContext class includes:</p> <pre><code>public OrganisationsContext() : base("Leegz_Entities_Organisations") { this.Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = false; this.Configuration.ProxyCreationEnabled = false; } public DbSet&lt;Organisation&gt; Organisations { get; set; } public DbSet&lt;Member&gt; Members { get; set; } public DbSet&lt;LeegzUser&gt; LeegzUsers { get; set; } </code></pre> <p>and my app.config contains:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;configuration&gt; &lt;configSections&gt; &lt;!-- For more information on Entity Framework configuration, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=237468 --&gt; &lt;section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" /&gt; &lt;/configSections&gt; &lt;entityFramework&gt; &lt;defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.LocalDbConnectionFactory, EntityFramework"&gt; &lt;parameters&gt; &lt;parameter value="v11.0" /&gt; &lt;/parameters&gt; &lt;/defaultConnectionFactory&gt; &lt;providers&gt; &lt;provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" /&gt; &lt;/providers&gt; &lt;/entityFramework&gt; &lt;connectionStrings&gt; &lt;add name="Leegz_Entities_Organisations" connectionString="data source=NEIL-INSPIRON\NEILDEV;initial catalog=TheLeegz;integrated security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /&gt; &lt;/connectionStrings&gt; &lt;appSettings&gt; &lt;add key="Leegz.Entities.Organisations.DbSecuritySchema" value="Leegz.Entities.Organisations"/&gt; &lt;/appSettings&gt; &lt;/configuration&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've seen a number of threads on this subject, but they all seem to be talking about errors in reference elements of the EDMX model file. However, as I've used code-first, I don't have a model (maybe I'm missing a step here), so the advice that I've seen in relation to the EDMX information in the connection string does not seem to apply to me.</p> <p>Any ideas, please?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
