    <p>I am using MySQL .net connector 6.4.4.0 and Entity Frame work 4.1 and trying to create the most basic of code-first implementations.</p> <pre><code>public class myDB: DbContext { public DbSet&lt;Vote&gt; Votes { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>my model</p> <pre><code>public class Vote { public Guid Id { get; set; } public int Value { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>my home controller</p> <pre><code>public class HomeController : Controller { myDB_db = new myDB(); public ActionResult Index() { var model = _db.Votes; return View(model); } } </code></pre> <p>my strongly typed view (using List scaffold)</p> <pre><code>@model IEnumerable&lt;Namespace.Models.Vote&gt; @{ ViewBag.Title = "Index"; } &lt;h2&gt;Index&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt; @Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create") &lt;/p&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt; @Html.DisplayNameFor(model =&gt; model.Value) &lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; @foreach (var item in Model) { &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem =&gt; item.Value) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id=item.Id }) | @Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id=item.Id }) | @Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id=item.Id }) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; } &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>It creates the table 'votes' in mySQL with all the right properties.</p> <p>However, it throws at this line:</p> <p>@foreach (var item in Model)</p> <p>with the exception:</p> <p><strong>"Table 'mydb.vote' doesn't exist"</strong></p> <p>edit: To clarify, I actually want table pluralization, and it seems to properly create the table. I'm hoping to discover the reason for the singular/plural discrepancy. None of the tutorials and videos from microsoft / Plural Sight / scott gu handle using mysql, so i have to imagine that the .netconnector might be the culprit. I would also like to avoid using the [Table("Votes")] attributes. Basically I'm hoping for as much of an 'out of the box' solution as possible.</p> <p>edit2 (some more relevant code): when i remove this...tables fail to create all together. but the view throws an exception looking for 'votes' not 'vote'. within global.asax</p> <pre><code>protected void Application_Start() { Database.SetInitializer(new DropCreateDatabaseAlways&lt;myDB&gt;()); AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas(); RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters); RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes); } public class myDBInitializer : DropCreateDatabaseAlways&lt;myDB&gt; { protected override void Seed(myDBcontext) { base.Seed(context); } } </code></pre>

    1. CODoes using the `Table` attribute solve the problem? You could also use the fluent API if you don't like the attribute. Have you tried it with SQL Express? Maybe there is a problem with the MySQL connector

    3. COps. making the table attribute have the value of Vote, fixes the problem. Why does the view expect the wrong table name!!?? :(

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.
