[RESOLVED] MVC, Seeding Database, Records Duplicating.

[BrailleSchool]

Hi, all,

I am getting the hang of MVC slowly. But, I am having an issue with my seed method. When I run the seed method, it is re-adding the records again and again. I am not sure what is going on here. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

namespace NotaryNet.Web.Migrations
{
    using Models;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Data.Entity.Migrations;
    using System.Data.Entity.Validation;
    using System.Text;
    internal sealed class Configuration : DbMigrationsConfiguration<ApplicationDbContext>
    {
        public Configuration()
        {
            AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = true;
            AutomaticMigrationDataLossAllowed = true;
        }

        // Sometimes errors when seeding are ambiguous and tell you nothing useful.
        // Catch the errors and provide the error message encountered along with the property causing the error.
        private void SaveChanges(ApplicationDbContext ctx)
        {
            try
            {
                ctx.SaveChanges();
            }
            catch (DbEntityValidationException EntValEx)
            {
                StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

                foreach (var EntValErr in EntValEx.EntityValidationErrors)
                {
                    sb.AppendFormat("{0} failed validation.\n", EntValErr.Entry.Entity.GetType());

                    foreach (var ValErr in EntValErr.ValidationErrors)
                    {
                        sb.AppendFormat("{0} : {1}", ValErr.PropertyName, ValErr.ErrorMessage);
                        sb.AppendLine();
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        protected override void Seed(ApplicationDbContext ctx)
        {
            // Add default options for the Company Types.
            var CompanyTypes = new List<CompanyTypes>
            {
                new CompanyTypes { CompanyTypeDescription = "Accountant", IsDeletable = false, IsUsed = false },
                new CompanyTypes { CompanyTypeDescription = "Customer", IsDeletable = false, IsUsed = false },
                new CompanyTypes { CompanyTypeDescription = "Employee", IsDeletable = false, IsUsed = false },
                new CompanyTypes { CompanyTypeDescription = "Financial Institution", IsDeletable = false, IsUsed = false },
                new CompanyTypes { CompanyTypeDescription = "Notary Company", IsDeletable = false, IsUsed = false },
                new CompanyTypes { CompanyTypeDescription = "Supplier", IsDeletable = false, IsUsed = false },
                new CompanyTypes { CompanyTypeDescription = "Vendor", IsDeletable = false, IsUsed = false },
                new CompanyTypes { CompanyTypeDescription = "Other", IsDeletable = false, IsUsed = false }
            };

            // Add the default options to the database table.
            CompanyTypes.ForEach(ct => ctx.CompanyTypes.AddOrUpdate(ctid => ctid.CompanyTypesID, ct));
            SaveChanges(ctx);
        }
    }
}
